“Successful properties understand that guests and meeting planners want to reserve activities and services before they arrive so there is no on-property guesswork and greater efficiency,” Dehan added. “Giving guests the ability to do this while booking their hotel reservation online is important because it keeps revenue on-property and gives guests control over their activities.”
