Official Sponsor of the Hospitality Social Media Summit, taking place on 3–4 September 2026 at Chicago Booth School of Business, London.

Social is now part of the booking journey

Guests do not begin their booking journey on a booking page.

They discover destinations through content, save recommendations, compare experiences, read reviews and look for reassurance from other travellers. Social media increasingly shapes where guests want to go, which brands they trust and what they ultimately choose to book.

SiteMinder connects that demand to the point of conversion.

Its end-to-end guest acquisition and revenue platform brings together direct booking, distribution, market intelligence, revenue management and guest engagement tools, helping hotels turn attention into measurable commercial results.

The SiteMinder Booking Engine can connect with social media channels, making it easier for hotels to move guests from inspiration and social proof to a direct booking experience.

The next generation of travellers will discover and evaluate hotels through a combination of social content, reviews, search platforms and AI-generated recommendations.

For hotels, the commercial opportunity is not simply to appear in those conversations. It is to be discoverable, trusted and immediately bookable when guest intent is
highest.

Leadership perspective

VP, Ecosystem and Strategic Partnerships, SiteMinder

For hotels, social media is no longer just about visibility. It is increasingly shaping travel intent, influencing discovery and playing a more meaningful role in the path to booking, which is exactly why it matters to SiteMinder.

SiteMinder began its 20th anniversary year with a major sweep at the 2026 HotelTechAwards.
