🤖 In 2025, according to Imperva's "Bad Bots Reports", AI bots impacting travel pricing are a growing concern. Bots can disrupt services by scraping prices, causing inventory denial, and engaging in "scalping" or "seat-spinning," affecting customer bookings. Frédéric Pilloud highlights that while bots don’t affect airline pricing, they can inflate hotel prices by blocking availability. Tim Ayling notes bots now mimic customers, buying tickets and slowing processes. Advanced AI bots evade detection, posing challenges for the industry.

💳 En 2025, les clients attendent des paiements mobiles sécurisés et adaptés aux langues et devises. Des outils obsolètes nuisent aux réservations, causant abandons et commissions. Amenitiz réduit jusqu'à 50% les tâches administratives et améliore les réservations directes. AmenitizPay offre une interface mobile, conformités PCI et protection contre les fraudes; elle intègre le PMS pour un suivi en temps réel et simplifie les paiements. Résultat : sérénité accrue et moins de litiges.

💻 Les générateurs de réponses IA, tels que SoLike, ChatGPT, et Bard, transforment la gestion des avis clients en automatisant des réponses personnalisées et précises. SoLike, gratuit via une extension Chrome, se distingue par sa simplicité d'utilisation et son support multilingue. ChatGPT et Bard, bien que polyvalents, nécessitent des ajustements manuels. Ces outils réduisent le temps de réponse (environ 12 heures gagnées par mois), assurent la cohérence et pourraient évoluer vers une intégration vocale et multiplateforme.

📊 In hospitality, data-driven decisions are vital. Independent establishments often use manual methods, but a PMS (Property Management System) is essential for strategic management. Key reports include occupancy rate, RevPAR, and customer segmentation. Real-time updates enable price adjustments and operational changes. Example: a hotel with a 60% occupancy rate versus 75% in competitors can use PMS for yield management. Medialog's hybrid solutions centralize data for improved decision-making and profitability.
