- Most small to medium hotels do not have the means to develop their own mobile apps and profiles. However, DeskBell’s research indicates that 70% of hotels would be interested in registering on mobile apps through third-party providers.
- Tourists have to spend hours researching on various websites before they can find the hotels that are within their price range and that meet their specific needs.
