Context & Challenges

Hospitality IndustryReducing OTA
dependence in Dubai

Dubai's tourism industry demands immediate responsiveness to counter the dominance of OTAs (Booking, Expedia). Properties must offer direct booking experiences and flawless virtual concierge services to maximize their margins and guest satisfaction.

Seasonality, multilingual demand peaks (FR/EN/AR/ES) and the need for a concierge available 24/7 put pressure on staffing costs. Conversational AI becomes a strategic lever, giving human teams back the time to focus on the in-person experience.

Key integrations

Connected to your
hospitality ecosystem

Two-way connection with your hotel PMS. Direct bookings appear instantly in Opera or Mews. In-stay requests are synced with housekeeping tasks in real time, eliminating any manual re-entry.

Integration with your booking engine to offer attractive direct rates. The guest pays with no Booking.com commission — you save 15 to 20% in commission on every direct booking, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dirhams annually.

Official WhatsApp API with support for 4 automatically detected languages. The guest writes in English, the AI replies in English. 94% open rate, response in under 2 seconds, available 24/7 with no added staffing costs.

Booking deposits collected directly within the WhatsApp conversation or the site widget. Automatic refunds according to cancellation conditions. Support for local cards (Telr, PayTabs) and international cards (Stripe, Visa, Mastercard).

Automatic collection of TripAdvisor and Google reviews 1 day after guest departure. Automated responses to negative reviews. A boutique resort in Ras Al Khaimah gained +0.4 Google points in just 4 months thanks to this automation.

Connection with your channel manager to synchronize availability in real time across all platforms. The AI agent never offers a room that isn't available. Zero overbooking, zero double booking, a flawless guest experience.
