Why are Travelers Important for Hotel Revenue?
Dayuse is the leading platform that allows hotels to fill their vacant rooms during the day by offering a relaxing retreat for guests in need of a secure and comfortable place. In 2023 alone, we facilitated over 1.9M bookings across our 8,500 hotels worldwide.
Recent surveys have highlighted a growing trend among travelers: 35.8% of U.S. travelers reported experiencing fatigue caused by uncomfortable trip conditions (1). These weary individuals increasingly seek opportunities to freshen up, take a power nap, or simply unwind for a few hours amidst their travels—making airport hotels during the day an optimal choice.
Our service caters to those caught in prolonged layovers, enduring red-eye flights, waiting for a late departure, or requiring a serene workspace during a business trip. With Dayuse, guests can book discounted rooms where they can rejuvenate and harness a sense of renewal. This not only maximizes their travel efficiency but also contributes substantially to our partner hotels' revenue, as evidenced by our glowing customer testimonials.
"Thank you so much for offering this type of reservation. We are returning from a cruise in the AM and they booked our flight home for 9:30 at night! It is nice we don't have to hang around the airport all that time."
