Hotelchamp, a leader in direct conversion technology for hotels, has unveiled its latest tool, an advanced Booking Engine designed to help hoteliers compete with the powerful technology used by online travel agencies (OTAs). The new Booking Engine is the fourth addition to Hotelchamp’s suite of direct conversion products, aimed at driving traffic, enhancing website experiences, and maximising direct revenue.
“We’re thrilled to introduce a booking engine that redefines what’s possible in hotel technology,” said Kristian Valk, CEO and Founder at Hotelchamp. “For the first time, hoteliers have a tool that matches the power and sophistication of the largest OTAs, built specifically to help them take full control of their direct bookings. This engine is not just about transactions-it’s about delivering a personalised guest experience from the first click. This groundbreaking solution gives hotels the competitive edge they need, offering guests a seamless and intuitive journey while allowing hoteliers to maximise revenue and foster closer relationships with their customers.”
Designed by conversion specialists, the Hotelchamp Booking Engine helps hoteliers create a fast, intuitive, and OTA-like booking experience, which research shows is key to converting guests directly. The engine offers a single-page journey, keeping guests on the same domain from browsing to booking, eliminating the need for page reloads and providing smooth, easy navigation. It also integrates effective conversion tools such as review summaries, dynamic personalised content, scarcity indicators, and one-click checkouts.
Luke Terheyden-Keighley, Hotelchamp’s Head of Product and Data, highlighted the pressing need for a solution that could compete with OTAs’ user-friendly platforms. “OTAs have spent years perfecting their apps, and it’s working. Recent data from Booking.com shows over half of their bookings now come from their app due to its speed, ease of use, and mobile optimisation. At Hotelchamp, we’ve developed a booking engine that delivers the same experience as an OTA app. It’s fast, intuitive, and packed with best-in-class conversion tools, from mobile payments like Apple Pay to personalised content and reviews.”
Hotelchamp’s Booking Engine joins their popular Convert tool and others in the suite, all aimed at giving hoteliers a direct booking advantage without high OTA commissions or the need to manage multiple solutions. With this latest release, Hotelchamp provides hotels with an innovative, cost-effective alternative to OTAs, empowering them to strengthen their guest relationships and take ownership of the booking journey.
