Dayuse, the world’s first website where consumers can book hotel rooms for daytime use, has just surpassed 220,000 bookings worldwide, since its inception in 2010.
Guests’ reasons for hotel usage are changing
Dayuse, which was set up by former hotelier David Lebée, recognises that guests’ reasons for hotel usage are changing, and enables rooms at its participating hotels to be booked for day time use through its website.
Lebée says: “Dayuse was formed to meet a growing demand from travellers for increased flexibility when visiting hotels – whether they’re looking for an informal meeting space, a comfortable stop-over between flights or a convenient base for a day out sight-seeing. And with technology now playing a huge part in the way we live our lives, people now expect the services that they want, when they want – the hotel industry is no exception.”
Increased flexibility and improved experiences
The rapid growth is being fuelled by a growing demand from hotel guests for increased flexibility and improved experiences during their stays.
Recent industry research from PwC suggests that the hotel and accommodation model is changing, as a result of four megatrends: breakthroughs in technology and connectivity, growing environments conscience, rising urbanisation and shifting social preferences. Hotels that innovate in response to evolving customer requirements will find success in the coming years.
