Hospitality Case Study

From Missed Booking Enquiries to Direct Reservations — 24/7

How AIBA™ turns a hotel or resort's website enquiries into an automated response, qualification and reservation system.

Guests don't plan trips during your front desk's working hours. A family can message your resort at 11:47 PM asking for a sea-view room on New Year weekend — and book an OTA listing or a competitor before your team replies the next morning. AIBA responds instantly.

Your Problem Isn't Always Occupancy.

It's what happens to the booking enquiries you already receive.

After-Hours Enquiries

Room and banquet enquiries arrive late at night, on weekends and during peak check-in hours — exactly when your team is busiest.

OTA Commission Drain

Every guest who doesn't hear back books through an OTA instead — costing you a significant commission on every room night.

Missed Follow-Ups

A guest asks for a rate, hears nothing for two days, and quietly books another property.

Rooms Sold Cold

While your team handles check-ins, a wedding or corporate group enquiry worth lakhs goes unanswered.

Real Hospitality Implementation

We Didn't Build Another Chatbot.

We built a 24/7 Direct Booking Engine.

AIBA was implemented to help a hotel & resort handle incoming booking enquiries more intelligently — responding instantly, understanding what the guest needs, qualifying the enquiry and moving it into an organized reservation process.

Why It Matters

The Numbers Hotels & Resorts Can't Ignore.

Direct bookings are the most profitable bookings a property can make — and they're won or lost in the first few minutes of an enquiry.

15–25%
Typical OTA commission per booking

Every direct booking AIBA helps recover is revenue you keep — not commission you pay.

Minutes, not hours
The response window that wins bookings

Guests typically message 2–3 properties at once. The first helpful reply usually gets the reservation.

F&B + Spa + Events
Revenue beyond the room

Qualified conversations surface anniversaries, weddings and corporate offsites — your highest-value bookings.

24/7
Guest expectations

Travellers plan trips at night and on weekends. A silent inbox quietly sends them to an OTA.

Industry figures are indicative and vary by property, market and OTA agreements.

Hospitality Has a Response-Time Problem.

Guests compare multiple properties and OTAs at once.

Booking enquiries arrive outside front-desk hours.

Your team cannot manually follow up with every enquiry.

AIBA doesn't replace your front desk or reservations team.

It makes sure your team spends more time confirming serious bookings — and less time chasing every enquiry.

"AIBA has transformed the way we handle booking enquiries at Holitel Anjuna. Guests no longer wait hours for a response — the AI replies instantly, captures the right details and keeps the conversation warm until our reservations team steps in. We've seen a clear shift: more direct bookings, fewer missed leads and a front desk that can focus on guests who are already at the property."
Manas Gupta
Managing Director
Holitel Anjuna
