Unlocking Data-Driven Decision Making in the Travel and Hospitality Industry

The travel and hospitality industry is characterized by its complexity and data-driven nature. With numerous stakeholders, diverse data sources, and high-stakes decision making, it’s no wonder that many organizations struggle to extract meaningful insights from their data. This is where Lighthouse, a leading commercial platform for the travel and hospitality industry, comes in. Lighthouse Data Solutions: The Power of Unifying Data

Lighthouse Data Solutions is a next-generation Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering designed to eliminate data friction and bring unmatched clarity to the complex travel and hospitality industry. By unifying hotel, short-term rental, and flight datasets into the largest database in the industry, Lighthouse Data Solutions provides a comprehensive and streamlined view that empowers decision-makers across the ecosystem with unmatched visibility into market dynamics.

  • Tailored for high-impact use across Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs), Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), bedbanks, hospitality tech companies, and investors
  • Unifies hotel, short-term rental, and flight datasets into the largest database in the industry
  • Empowers decision-makers with unmatched visibility into market dynamics

The platform builds upon Lighthouse’s existing Data-as-a-Service offering by providing a unified view of the travel and hospitality landscape. This comprehensive intelligence combines five years of historical reservation data with 365 days of forward-looking visibility, empowering customers to proactively make decisions before bookings are made.

“Too many teams are drowning in data but starving for answers. Access isn’t the problem anymore – it’s actionability and getting immediate access to all the different data points into one comprehensive, flexible platform. With Lighthouse Data Solutions, we’re turning complexity into clarity, helping travel and hospitality leaders win with the right strategy, while giving them the intelligence they need, when they need it, to make faster, smarter decisions.” – Nir Dupler, SVP of Data Solutions at Lighthouse

The platform features four purpose-built modules addressing distinct business requirements:

  1. Supply module: Monitor real-time changes in hotel and short-term rental inventory to stay ahead of market shifts.
  2. Pricing module: Benchmark against competitors with granular rate intelligence to optimize pricing strategies and identify opportunities.
  3. Demand module: Understand traveler intent before bookings are made – with forward-looking search trends on major OTAs and GDSs by market and source.
  4. Performance module: Track real-time occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR with predictive, brand-level insights for smarter forecasting.

These strategic modules address key challenges faced by travel and hospitality stakeholders, including DMOs, OTAs, property managers, and investment firms. Early adopters report significant operational improvements, with DMOs achieving double-digit increases in visitation during traditionally slow periods, and OTAs optimizing search results and improving conversion rates by 15-20%.
