Outrigger Hotels and Resorts Selects Annette, The Virtual Hotel Agent™

USA, Santa Fe, New Mexico. June 27, 2022

Travel Outlook the Premier Hotel Call Center™ ("Travel Outlook") announced today that Outrigger Hotels and Resorts has signed a contract for the design and implementation of Travel Outlook's Annette (formerly “Bella” by Travel Outlook) , The Virtual Hotel Agent™. Annette is the hospitality industry's first AI-powered voice assistant, purpose-built to reduce fixed-labor costs with a distinct human touch.

"Our Annette implementation team will craft a thoughtful execution plan for Outrigger," said John Smallwood, President of Travel Outlook. "Outrigger has been a valued call-center client of ours for several years and we intend to work carefully with the Outrigger team to design the right approach for integrating Annette in way that enhances guest services and reduces operating expenses for the premier beach resort brand."

Annette has been programmed using a breakthrough approach to voice bots, a system built from human conversations. Using social media, chat forums and movie dialogue, Annette learns from billions of casual human conversations to understand human inflections and multi-turn queries. This revolutionary approach means Annette understands callers no matter what they say, when they say it, or how they speak - in any language.

Annette can route calls and send follow-up texts, but her true value lies in her ability to answer the frequently asked questions unique to each hotel. Studies have shown that this can be up to 60% of a front desk's call volume, and in initial implementations, Annette has offered sterling performance.

A hotel does not need to be a Travel Outlook call-center client to use Annette. Please contact Kimberly Samuelson at Travel Outlook for a detailed demonstration of Annette's abilities and attractive pricing. Travel Outlook has created the Annette Savings Tool to demonstrate the savings possible in front-desk labor when weaving in Annette's abilities with those of the front desk team.

Hotel Revenue Management: The Age of Big Data


The future of hotel revenue management lies in the adoption of ever more sophisticated software and technology, especially as it pertains to forecasting and pricing. For revenue professionals, the Age of Big Data has arrived. Managers are utilizing systems that employ leading-edge algorithms and machine learning, along with business analytics and data visualization tools. These tools communicate complex information more effectively, allowing managers to understand the key components driving demand and revenue. They have the ability to analyze real-time external and internal data, produce reports, and integrate information - all on a single platform - in order to improve performance. Managers are also utilizing  geographic information systems (GIS) which incorporate geographic data into forecasting. GIS also help decision-makers identify information in a visual way that cannot be detected through traditional data analysis. The October issue of the Hotel Business Review will report on how some hotels are integrating Big Data into their revenue management strategies.
