hihotels by Hospitality International has partnered with the travel app Hopper. With this new partnership, Hopper will have a direct connection with hihotels’ five brands: Scottish Inns, Red Carpet Inns, Master Hosts Inns, Downtowner Inns and Passport Inn. These brands will benefit from Hopper’s proprietary suite of fintech products that drive conversion, repeat purchases and profitability. Hopper will also help hihotels expand its growing online presence and retain its customer base.
“This strategic alliance with Hopper is yet another way of providing more revenue opportunities and increased exposure for our franchisees,” hihotels Director of Operations Gary Gobin said in a statement. “Hopper, previously known for its flights business, has rapidly expanded into hotels, homes and rental cars in recent years—with hotels currently comprising more than half of the company's travel bookings. We like how they are strongly focused on social media marketing, which will improve exposure of our hotels to younger generations who prefer to spend money on experience, rather than higher-priced accommodations.”
