The real story
Why Maximum Occupancy?
Maximum Occupancy isn’t your typical industry talkfest. It’s built around the conversations hotel commercial leaders are actually having: how to take back control of distribution, how to convert more direct traffic and how to grow revenue without just throwing more money at ads.
That’s exactly why we’re proud to be part of it as Gold Sponsor.
The real story
The session on every hotelier’s agenda
At 12:30pm on 4 March, Roomstay’s Director of Sales Duncan Waterman will take the stage with a session focused on the biggest opportunity most hotels are leaving on the table: conversion.
Session:
Learning the Conversion Impact: How Smart Booking Journeys Drive EBITDA Growth
Most hotels are getting the traffic. Visitors are landing on hotel websites, searching for rooms, even starting the booking process. The real challenge is conversion. Somewhere between “I’m interested” and “I’ve booked,” revenue is walking out the door.
Duncan’s session will cover:
Where revenue is actually lost in the booking journey
How payment friction impacts conversion rates
The real impact on EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) when you build smarter booking experiences
Practical changes hotels can implement straight away
If you’re a GM, revenue manager or commercial leader looking to increase direct conversion and reduce OTA dependency without increasing ad spend, this one’s worth blocking out your calendar for.
The real story
Meet the Roomstay team
Beyond Duncan’s session, the Roomstay team will be on the ground all day. We’d love to chat about your direct booking strategy, walk you through how we’re helping hotels convert more website visitors into guests, and hear about your current booking journey.
No hard sell. Just real conversation about real results.
