Local Context

Paris welcomes over 30 million visitors annually, each carrying a smartphone and expecting instant communication. Today's travelers—whether planning a romantic Eiffel Tower proposal or a business trip—prefer messaging over phone calls or emails. With guests arriving from Asia, Americas, and across Europe, your hotel faces inquiries in dozens of languages through multiple messaging apps. WhatsApp dominates among European and South American travelers, while WeChat is essential for Chinese guests. During peak seasons like Fashion Week and Christmas, message volumes can overwhelm even well-staffed properties. In a city with 2,500+ competing hotels, response speed often determines whether an inquiry becomes a booking.
