Les marques ont-elles encore de l’intérêt ? L’exemple de Gîtes de France

🏠 Gîtes de France celebrated 70 years in 2024 and added 7,000 new properties, joining nearly 55,000 owners, 84% of whom are in rural areas. Despite a trend of properties leaving the network in recent years to avoid commissions and leverage digital platforms like Airbnb, Booking, and Expedia, the network has adapted to allow property owners to choose their solutions and maintain autonomy while still benefiting from the brand. Although Google Trends shows a decline in the "Gîtes de France" brand search interest, the term "gite" remains strong, indicating sustained interest in this type of accommodation. Gîtes de France has managed to retain appeal among owners and remains a favorite brand in France, even as it competes with OTAs and maintains a significant online presence with 43% of bookings through its websites and local centers.

La guerre commerciale affecte-t-elle déjà l’économie du tourisme ?

🛫 Increased tariffs and strict border controls in the US have led to a tense travel climate, with reports of intense checks on Canadian and European travelers. Since Donald Trump's presidency began in January, France and European foreign ministries have updated travel advisories, and the German Foreign Affairs Ministry warns that visas or entrance exemptions do not guarantee entry. Accor Hotels in the US has seen a 25% booking drop from the previous year, and travel searches from France to the US have decreased by 20% to 26%, notably to cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Meanwhile, US tourism to Europe declines by 3% for conferences and 4% for business tourism, partly offset by increased Canadian visitors to Europe. In the face of economic uncertainties, travel insurance sales, including IMG's "Cancel for Any Reason" product, surged by 20% in early 2025. Despite market instabilities affecting online travel agencies, Airbnb maintains growth prospects, expecting an average revenue increase of 11% between 2026 and 2034.

Instagram: ce que vous devez faire avant cet été !

📸 Instagram posts by tourist accommodations have become predictable, showcasing perfect beds and natural light, but lacking engagement and bookings. In 2025, the value lies in authentic human experiences over perfect aesthetics. Content should feature local culture, staff stories, and user-generated content, fostering authentic engagement. The Plaza Athénée is France's most-followed hotel on Instagram with 253,000 followers. Authentic videos can convince 86% of consumers to purchase, and 75% prefer video reviews from users. TikTok and Instagram encourage genuine interactions, and AI should support, not replace, real experiences. Content must be surprising, inspiring, and emotional to encourage sharing and action.

Vos emails peu qualifiés ne rapportent pas ce qu’ils devraient !

💰 European hoteliers are underperforming in direct marketing database creation, according to Revinate's annual report. Analysis included 2.4 billion emails, 24 million reviews, 5.9 million calls and texts, and scanned customer files. Globally, hotel databases average 71% qualified emails and 55% valid phone numbers. In Europe, these rates drop to 34% for emails and remain 55% for phone numbers. European hotels' dependence on OTAs leads to a higher rate of "masked" emails at 34%, compared to 12% in the US. In the US, a qualified email contact is valued at $12.07 and a phone number at $12, while in Europe, these figures fall to $5.89 and $3, respectively. A well-qualified US database of 1000 contacts could be worth an additional $12,000 compared to $5,890 in Europe. US campaigns with good databases can generate $1,317 in bookings, while European campaigns peak at $583.
