Five Best Practices to Unlock the Hidden Potential of Payments for Hotel Chains The hotel sector was heavily impacted by COVID, like all retail and travel verticals, but has demonstrated strong recovery since the pandemic. However, the industry's strong recovery comes with a significant caveat. EDC estimates $21 billion to be attributed to direct payment acceptance costs alone in 2024. Beyond costs, current payment practices lead to substantial lost revenue opportunities leading to reservation abandonment or booking with a competitor or OTA. And most critically, not optimising payment strategies risks undermining the guest experience and long-term competitiveness. In this white paper, we will delve further into understanding the current state of payments in the hotel sector and examine pain points that are undermining business performance. ??
