TravelVRse

Play2stay by TravelVRse is an immersive concierge platform designed for top-tier hotels, targeting a $1B market by aligning with travelers' local experience preferences to drive direct bookings and boost ancillary revenue. Today’s travelers spend 47% of their trip budgets on local experiences—making this the focus of their pre-travel research. Meanwhile, hotels are increasingly commoditized, with 35% of bookings made through OTAs like Booking.com. These OTA bookings result in 30% lower profits due to commissions and missed upselling opportunities. This trend is accelerating: 50% of next-gen travelers now book through OTAs. To reclaim revenue and guest relationships, hotels must personalize local experience offerings at three key moments: Pre-booking Pre-arrival In-stay The challenge: hotels lack data on guest experience preferences. Play2stay solves this by integrating with hotel loyalty programs to create dynamic guest profiles. Travelers earn points by exploring photorealistic, 3D versions of hotels and nearby experiences—like beach cabanas, spas, bars, and restaurants—within a gamified environment. These interactions generate a portable experience profile that feeds back into the game as personalized, bookable recommendations.
