Webinar Recap

In this strategic session, HyperGuest team and Waldin Duran, Cluster Commercial Director for Peru at Melia Hotels International unpacked the transformative power of Smart Segmentation for the hospitality industry. With a data-driven approach, the webinar explored how identifying and targeting high-value guest segments is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity in today’s competitive, margin-tight environment.

Real-world success stories highlighted how hotels have redefined their commercial identity by embracing segmentation. From urban hotels optimizing short-lead corporate bookings to resorts building geo-driven promotions, the insights shared were grounded in operational reality.

HyperGuest’s platform emerged as a key enabler—facilitating hyper-targeted campaigns, automating partner-specific offers, and helping hotels streamline their B2B connections through dynamic, real-time distribution. The session also emphasized how segmentation doesn’t just improve revenue; it sharpens rate strategies, reduces CAC, and enhances the guest journey from discovery to booking.

Key Takeaways

  • Data-Driven Segmentation is Non-Negotiable: Hotels must go beyond basic categorization. Segmentation by channel, nationality, seasonality, and guest behavior unlocks deeper insights and stronger results.
  • Case in Point – Colombia: A 3-star hotel pivoted to a corporate-focused model after uncovering untapped demand near local clinics—reinventing its value proposition and surviving the pandemic.
  • Segmentation by Property Type: Urban hotels can capitalize on short-notice, bleisure, and corporate demand, while resorts can leverage longer planning cycles with geo-targeted and seasonal promotions.
  • HyperGuest-Powered Automation: The platform enables real-time, guest-profile-based offers—like targeting Mexican travel agencies booking in Colombia—saving time while enhancing precision.
  • Conversion Through Channel Awareness: Segmenting OTA, direct, and GDS channels ensures the right offer hits the right traveler at the right moment—without defaulting to last-minute discounting.
  • Egyptian Market Surge: A hyperlocal rate plan for Egyptian residents led to a 600% spike in bookings in one week—proving the power of targeted segmentation with HyperGuest.
  • Strategic Use of Distribution Channels: The session clarified that Distribution channels aren't obstacles—they're strategic tools to acquire new guests, who can then be nurtured into direct loyalists.
