Hospitality Meets AI: Keeping It Human in a Digital Age
May 19, 2025
AI isn’t replacing your team — it’s making them unstoppable.
In hospitality, relationships are everything. From the welcome at check-in to the extra coffee at breakfast, it’s the human touch that keeps guests coming back.
But behind the scenes, hotel teams are stretched thinner than ever — juggling marketing, guest communication, pricing, and endless admin.
Here’s where AI makes its entrance.
At Otel Spider, we don’t believe in replacing people with technology. We believe in hybrid marketing — a smart blend of AI automation and human strategy.
AI handles the heavy lifting: segmenting audiences, analyzing behavior, predicting demand, and optimizing campaigns. Your team? They stay focused on the real work — creative ideas, personalized messaging, and brand storytelling that builds loyalty.
When used well, AI helps you get closer to your guests, not further. It identifies patterns your team might miss, recommends actions that convert, and frees up time to create moments that matter.
This is how modern hotels stay competitive — not by automating everything, but by using tech to amplify what makes them human.
The future of hotel marketing isn’t AI vs. people. It’s AI with people. That’s hybrid marketing — and it’s already happening.

Google Hotel Ads and the upcoming changes to its advertising model. As part of Google’s shift, the platform will move from a commission-based model to a pay-per-click (PPC) system, starting tomorrow 20th of February, 2025. This change could have a significant impact on your marketing strategy, and we’re here to help guide you through this transition. What Does the Shift to Pay-Per-Click Mean? With the new PPC model , instead of paying Google a commission only when a booking is confirmed, you will now pay each time a potential guest clicks on your listing . This means your costs will be tied to the click-through rate (CTR) and market competition , rather than just confirmed bookings. While this shift gives you more control over your advertising spend, it also means you’ll need to stay on top of your bidding strategy to maximize visibility and return on investment. How This Affects All Google Hotel Ads It’s important to note that this new PPC system applies to all Google Hotel Ads options , meaning every hotel using Google’s platform will be impacted by this change. Whether you are already advertising on Google or planning to start, you’ll need to adapt your strategy to fit this new model. How We’re Helping You Through the Transition While Google moves to a pay-per-click model, we’re committed to helping you adapt and succeed. Our Partner, BookOnlineNow , will continue to operate under its commission-based model , so you will still only pay for confirmed bookings, making your costs predictable. This model ensures that you won’t be paying for clicks without conversions, keeping things simple and risk-free. Additionally, BookOnlineNow will take care of managing your bidding strategy to help you stay competitive within the new PPC environment. This means they will ensure your hotel’s listings are seen by the right audience without the uncertainty that comes with the PPC model. Moving Forward Together While change can be challenging, we’re confident that with the right tools and strategies, you can continue to drive high-quality traffic and bookings. If you have any questions about how the new PPC model will affect your advertising or need help adjusting your strategy, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
