Local Context

Venice welcomes over 20 million visitors annually to its unique car-free canal city, creating logistical questions no other destination faces. Your hotel website competes with 600+ properties. Travelers researching Venice hotels need instant answers about water taxi transfers from the airport, how to reach your property with luggage, and what acqua alta flooding means for their stay. The city's unique transport system and seasonal events like Carnival create communication challenges. Without real-time chat to explain Venice's complexities, anxious visitors default to OTAs.
