Online booking is here to stay
Some 86.6% of all bookings with Spabreaks.com are now made online – a figure up from 56% in 2019. “This unstoppable shift towards online bookings opens up an array of opportunity,” says Selby. “Not only can guests have 24/7 access to your service list, but online booking is sticky, in a good way, as the majority of customers who book online don’t return to traditional methods for future bookings.”
