Despite the volatile economic climate, there was an increase in bookers to hospitality websites since Q1 2011, as well as an increase in loyalty program members. Importantly, the metrics of Overall Satisfaction and Task Completion on websites improved significantly not only since the past quarter, but versus the same quarter last year, suggesting that hospitality providers are continually improving not only their online offering, but their overall brand experience as well.
But the report also uncovered that website responsiveness, which involves interactive elements associated with the booking process such as calendar functionality, room selection, personal information input, etc., was both the lowest rated key driver of the visitor's overall satisfaction, and the most influential. Therefore, when it comes to prioritizing website enhancements, streamlining and optimizing, the booking process should be the area on which to focus in order to promote booking.
"Hospitality companies' ability to provide a seamless, intuitive experience from beginning to end is the most powerful driver of visit satisfaction," said Claude Guay, President and CEO of iPerceptions. "Conclusive research shows that website responsiveness is more influential than a website's ability to save visitors money on room rates."
The report indicates that price is still important. Visitors are still skeptical about the rates they see on a website and will shop around in order to find the best deal. However, many visitors are used to shopping around and therefore place more importance on issues related to the website, such as features and functions, when it comes to optimizing their experience.
Other important findings from the report include:
The report analyzed immediate post-experience feedback from more than 130,000 people visiting over 100 hospitality and tourism sites to identify the most important online issues and trends facing this unique industry.
