[SPONSORED POST] Did you know that last-minute hotel bookings are significantly cheaper?

A recent analysis by hotel portal HRS, which examined the booking behaviour of business travellers over the past 5 years, shows that same-day hotel bookings are on average 23 percent cheaper than overnight stays booked far in advance. The analysis also showed that the majority of business travellers tend to book their hotel accommodation up to 2 weeks in advance, giving up on substantial savings for the security of room availability. Thanks to HRS’s mobile app technology, business travellers are now able to only book their hotel accommodation on the same day they need it. Using map functionality with GPS positioning, the HRS app allows them to immediately find a suitable hotel nearby, thus enjoying the best of both worlds.

“Mobile is the current trend and it will define the future of the travel industry. We are constantly enhancing our apps and adding additional services so that we can continually offer guests new experiences,” said HRS CEO Tobias Ragge.

Currently installed on over 20 million devices, the HRS app also allows customers to check in to participating hotels via their mobile phone, store preferences or requirements for their stay in their profile, and automatically share this information with staff. There are also plans to make mobile payment possible during check out. Hotels that already offer HRS’s ‘Smarthotel’ services will be indicated in the app.
