The Beyond develops new tools for hosts
Beyond’s global presence has accelerated throughout 2024, despite continued volatility in the short-term rental industry.
Beyond now has customers in more than 100 countries and continues to add more every month.
In addition, Beyond’s innovative Search-Powered Pricing is now being used by clients in more than 40 global markets to use real-time consumer search data in their revenue management strategies, enabling them to earn more money and manage their marketing and distribution channels more effectively.
“The entire travel industry is at a tipping point – there are endless sources of data showing vendors exactly what guests want and need – and the short-term rental sector has so many opportunities to move forward using this customer intent data,” said Flores Portillo, CRO at Beyond.
Beyond released its Predictive Revenue Solution in early 2024, providing the short-term rental industry with even more capabilities based on consumer insights and artificial intelligence to maximize revenue.
