One of the most powerful business lessons learned in 2020 - 2021 was relying on historical data for forecasting and pricing was far too risky. As travel recovers after the pandemic, it’s never been more important to know about demand-driving events, but tracking these manually is time-consuming and error-prone ― especially the hundreds of thousands of recurring events that change date and location each time.
Let PredictHQ track high impact events for you so you can focus on driving up RevPAR and accurate staffing. Our systems aggregate and verify events from hundreds of sources. We then rank the events by impact and provide a predicted attendance number using our proprietary models, so you know the most relevant events to optimize for, long before bookings begin flowing in. Our API can be plugged into any platform or model to start delivering value quickly.
