“The pandemic has certainly had a big impact on hospitality owners in Ireland and so it was important to think outside the box and test new initiatives such as Oraculo. The implementation was simple and fast, with the team at THN helping us to set up the campaign, while Oraculo took care of the rest. Looking at the numbers, it is clear that having Oraculo onboard helped to strengthen our direct booking results at a time when demand was particularly low.”
