IDeaS achieves 426% growth in Greece through strategic hotel partnerships
IDeaS reports 426% growth in Greece, driven by strong hotel demand for revenue optimization tools amid rising tourism performance.
ATHENS – IDeaS, a SAS company and the world's leading provider of hospitality revenue management software and services, reports record-breaking growth in Greece. This rapid expansion is driven by a wave of strategic hotel partnerships and increasing demand for sophisticated solutions tailored to optimize revenues for properties of all sizes and operating models.
Between 2023 and 2024, IDeaS reported a 426% increase in year-on-year revenue, reflecting the company's growing influence in southern Europe's vibrant hospitality sector. Over this period, the business closed 27 new deals in Greece.
IDeaS' growth aligns with Greece's tourism sector, which reached new heights in 2024, welcoming approximately 35.9 million international visitors and generating 21.7 billion euros in tourism revenue, surpassing previous records.
The Athens market alone saw strong growth with average hotel occupancy reaching 78%, an 8.9% increase in the average daily rate (ADR) to 149.26 euros, and an 11.4% rise in revenue per available room (RevPAR) to 116.48 euros.
Michael McCartan, Area Vice President, EMEA, IDeaS, said: 'Our performance in Greece has been nothing short of extraordinary. The appetite for dynamic, technology driven revenue management strategies is growing fast, and our clients are seeing the results. We're proud to support this transformation with solutions that empower hoteliers to adapt quickly, boost profitability, and elevate guest experiences.'
IDeaS' growth in 2024 was anchored by a series of significant client acquisitions across the hospitality spectrum. These wins demonstrate the company's ability to deliver tailored revenue management solutions to a wide variety of property types, from boutique and lifestyle accommodations to expansive resort groups and multi-property portfolios. This momentum has continued into 2025, with further additions strengthening IDeaS' presence across both established and emerging markets.
As Greek hoteliers face rising operating costs, tighter lending conditions and a rapidly evolving digital distribution landscape, investment in revenue management technology is increasingly seen as strategic necessity. By leveraging advanced demand forecasting to guide dynamic pricing, inventory, and distribution decisions – down to the room-type and market-segment level – operators gain the agility to respond to shifting market dynamics and drive more sustainable, long-term growth.

SiteMinder announces "Risk, Resilience & Revenue" series
SiteMinder launches June webinar series to help hoteliers tackle 2025 booking declines with data-driven strategies amid global uncertainty. DALLS, TEXAS – SiteMinder has announced the launch of a new global webinar series: 'Risk, Resilience & Revenue – Navigating Hotel Demand in 2025', running throughout June. The series will bring together industry leaders to provide hoteliers with practical, data-driven strategies for maximizing revenue at a time of geopolitical and economic uncertainty. The announcement comes as SiteMinder's data reveals hotels globally are experiencing a 1.31% decline in bookings for summer 2025 (June – August) compared to last year. US properties face greater challenges, with summer volumes down 6.72%, driven in part by a 46.04% year-on-year fall in Canadian bookings and a 7.37% reduction from Mexican guests. Average daily rates (ADR) for US properties have shifted to $317.29 for the June – August period, compared to $330.03 last year – a 3.86% adjustment. Regional performance varies: Texas hotels report a 6.04% ADR gain, while Florida properties show an 8.76% reduction for the same timeframe. Domestic travelers remain the foundation of US hotel revenue, representing over 70% of all arrivals throughout the first four months of 2025, according to SiteMinder. Trent Innes, SiteMinder's Chief Growth Officer, says: 'While market volatility certainly brings challenges, it also opens up real opportunities for the hotels ready to adapt. That's exactly why we created 'Risk, Resilience & Revenue' – to bring together industry leaders from around the world to share the strategies shaping success in their markets right now. By combining diverse perspectives with comprehensive market insights, we're helping hotels identify and act on emerging trends, tap into new source markets, and navigate today's complexities. It's about equipping hoteliers with the clarity and confidence to turn disruption into momentum.' According to SiteMinder, the data also reveals resilience within the US market. Despite volume pressures, the booking window for summer stays made during April remains stable at 80.44 days, compared to 81.78 days last year, while the average length of stay has increased slightly to 2.29 days for summer 2025, up from 2.26 days in 2024. The US session of SiteMinder's international webinar series will take place on the 3rd June at 12pm EDT, with the participation of Michelle Viajeador, Market Development Manager at SiteMinder, and Josh Graham, Head of Market Development North America at Cloudbeds.
