Metasearch and OTA and other important players have been in our sights, as is usual in Mirai, questioning the value of the presence of intermediaries in metasearch, warning of the risk-free reservations by Booking.com, informing of booking. basic or commenting on the entry of Airbnb into hotel distribution.

Topics related to direct sales. There are different topics, apparently less important, that may affect direct sales or create confusion. An example is security and performance, another is forms of payment offered by the hotelier, and its evolution, chatbots and the cost of direct sales.
