“Is AI going to take people’s jobs?” In this clip from Voices of Hospitality, Dimitris Manikis, President, EMEA at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, in conversation with Bhanu Chopra, Founder and MD, RateGain explains why AI in hospitality will not replace people, but empower hotel teams to do more of what matters most: deliver better guest experiences. By reducing repetitive tasks and operational friction, AI can give staff more time for meaningful human interaction, faster service, and more personalized hospitality. A powerful reminder that the future of hospitality is not less human, but more, enabled by better technology. Let us know in comments: How do you see AI improving the guest experience without losing the human touch?

What if AI starts deciding which hotel gets booked before the guest does? That future is closer than we think. Latest The Economic Times article, “AI adoption going up in travel and hospitality,” shows how AI is becoming a bigger part of how travel is discovered, planned, and booked. That shift has a real implication for hotels: AI is no longer just supporting the journey. It is starting to influence commercial outcomes across pricing, distribution, and guest engagement. At RateGain, we’re embedding AI across the commercial stack for travel and hospitality, helping businesses navigate fragmented demand, simplify distribution complexity, and drive smarter decisions across pricing, distribution, and guest engagement. The industry is entering its next commercial chapter. And AI is at the center of it. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gwrvsrRF

“Why am I stuck using only a debit or credit card for international hotel bookings?” “Why can’t I choose how I want to pay?” "Why can’t paying for an international hotel be simple?"   It’s a frustration many travelers know too well. The dates are set. The hotel is selected. The trip feels real, until the payment experience gets in the way. That’s the gap we’re closing. Cashfree Payments joins RG Pay as a Platinum Partner with RateGain, bringing together domestic and cross-border payment capabilities to simplify transactions across the travel ecosystem. Indian travelers can now pay global travel brands using familiar local methods, while businesses benefit from smoother checkouts and higher success rates. Because paying for a holiday should be as easy as planning one.

A major event is announced in your city. Demand spikes. Has your social content gone live yet? A market can shift overnight. A major event can change booking patterns in hours. Your revenue team reacts immediately. But social media execution is still slowed down by rigid calendars, delayed approvals, and disconnected tools. And that delay matters more than ever. Because hotel discovery has changed. Guests are not only discovering hotels through OTAs or search. They are forming preferences through social content, reviews, and AI-driven recommendations, often before they ever begin actively searching. So, when your social is late, you are not just missing engagement. You are missing visibility at the exact moment demand starts building. This is where hotel teams lose momentum: - A need period opens, but content is not ready - A campaign launches, but social support comes too late - Demand shifts, but messaging does not move with it That is not a content problem. It is an execution problem. SoHo’s AI Publishing is built to help hotel teams move faster from planning and creation to approval and publishing, so social can stay aligned to business priorities, not lag behind them. With SoHo, hotel teams can reduce publishing time by up to 40% with a unified social calendar designed to keep every post tied to real business needs. With SoHo, teams can: - Plan and pivot in minutes using AI and real event signals - Refine content with AI while protecting brand voice - Pull approved, on-brand assets instantly - Move from creation to approval to publishing without bottlenecks - Align social with campaigns, promotions, and need periods Because demand does not wait. And neither should your social. You do not chase demand. You attract it. 👉 Try the SoHo Suite: https://lnkd.in/ghZDVf2B #HotelRevenue #HospitalityMarketing #AIinHospitality #DemandGeneration #SocialMediaStrategy

Over 60% of travelers now turn to social media for trip inspiration. For hotels, that means the path to booking is being reshaped in real time. It is no longer a straight line from search to website to reservation. They scroll before they search. They check comments before they click. They ask AI where to stay. They act on what feels relevant, right now. Meanwhile, demand moves fast. Global events change the guest sentiment. Trends shift overnight. Currencies change decisions. Destinations can go viral in hours. While revenue teams adapted to these shifts. Marketing tools didn’t. We spoke to hundreds of hotels, and a common point was the fragmentation of tools and delayed workflows. That is why we built #SoHo Suite. An AI-powered social growth engine for hospitality, helping hotel teams create faster, publish smarter, engage better, and turn social signals into real demand. Designed for hotel marketers, commercial teams, and brands of every size, SoHo keeps you relevant when it matters most. Because today, visibility isn’t enough. You have to show up at the moment demand happens. SoHo is built for that. Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/gqbEHGvG
