Hotel demand is shifting from a search box to a conversation, with travellers increasingly booking directly through AI assistants.

This guide breaks down why that connector adds cost without adding value, how to calculate your hotel’s true connectivity spend across each cost layer, and how moving to a unified platform can cut distribution costs while speeding up rate updates and access to corporate travel demand.
