Google to Display Organic Meta Listings in Its Hotel Ads Section |
|
Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the hospitality and the travel industries to a grinding halt and, while we look forward with optimism with the vaccinations underway, certain regions across the globe are slowly picking up the pieces and preparing for a swift return to normalcy. |
|
|
Hotels are opening their doors with precautions and flight passenger volumes are recovering and signify that the pre-pandemic times and conditions are within sight.
To aid businesses that have suffered enormous losses during this ongoing period, Google made it free for partners to participate in Google Flights in April 2020 – following the onset of the virus. Now, to support the hospitality and the travel industries, they have rolled out organic meta listings in its Hotel Ads section, which was previously only available for paid partners and its shelf space dominated by online travel agencies (OTAs).
