ATKV Resorts’ revenue grew after Asksuite’s AI Reservation Agent implementation, a technology exclusively tailored for the hospitality industry. Attending travelers’ messages during after-hours and peak periods was the turning point to reach this goal.

Managing the growth of seven resorts is not a simple task, especially when they are situated in the most beautiful parts of South Africa and offer unparalleled hospitality. This is ATKV Resorts’ success case.

Comparing international tourism in South Africa between 2022 and 2023 reveals a staggering increase of almost 50%, totaling 8.5 million tourists during the latter year. The surge underscores the escalating demand for traveler communication and the arduous task of front desk staff in balancing these activities as well as daily operations.

ATKV Resorts turned to Asksuite’s AI Reservation Agent, an exclusive solution tailored for the hospitality industry, in order to:

  • Provide personalized attention to potential guests;
  • Amplify direct reservation revenue;
  • Achieve higher profit margins.

The outcome was nothing short of remarkable: ATKV Resorts generated $150,000 in new business over nine months, surpassing initial investment costs of $8,000.

What challenges were ATKV Resorts facing?

Prior to integrating Asksuite’s technology, the ATKV Resorts struggled to maintain efficient potential guest communication during after-hours and peak periods. The absence of streamlined communication channels led to missed opportunities and potential revenue loss, as online travel agencies (OTAs) usually appeal to travelers due to delayed responses.

Seeking a solution to enhance customer service while driving business growth, they looked to Asksuite, as an AI Reservation Agent provider tailored for the hospitality industry.
