In order to score a top travel deal, all you need to do is fill in a template of a tweet to @stayful specifying your destination, desired price range, arrival date and number of nights. Stayful's social team then gets to work, making [negotiations with participating hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-haggler) and providing you with a link on [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweetlio) with a deal that's better than you'll find on your own. Stayful is able to secure these lower prices as a result of vacancy, since hotels are anxious to fill rooms. Stayful’s co-founder and CEO Cheryl Rosner describes: "Hotels want to make sure they book all their rooms, and travelers want a great deal. Since we negotiate prices behind the scenes in real time, we can offer TweetStay customers a better price than they can find online." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Social Travel Booking:** Stayful's #Tweetstay simplifies travel booking by allowing users to submit a tweet with their desired destination, price range, and other details to receive personalized and discounted hotel deals. - **Online Hotel Savings:** Stayful's Tweetstay taps into hotels' need to fill vacant rooms and negotiates real-time discounts for customers, disrupting the traditional online hotel booking process. - **Real-time Price Negotiation:** Stayful's social team negotiates prices with participating hotels behind the scenes, offering customers better deals by leveraging vacancies and providing real-time offers on Twitter. ### Who This Affects Most - **Travel and Accommodation:** The travel and accommodation industry can benefit from adopting social travel booking platforms like Stayful's #Tweetstay, which streamline the booking process and offer customers better prices. - **Online Travel Agencies:** Online travel agencies can explore incorporating real-time price negotiation features into their platforms, similar to Stayful's Tweetstay, to provide customers with more competitive and personalized hotel deals. - **Hotel and Hospitality:** Hotels and hospitality businesses can leverage social travel booking trends like Stayful's Tweetstay to optimize room occupancy and ensure revenue generation through real-time, discounted deals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connective Economic Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swapper.md) - [Hotel Booking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otlaat.md) - [Smart Trip-Planning Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trips-by-steller.md) - [Curated Flight Deal Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-going-app.md) - [Social Media-Based AI Travels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-trip-ai.md) - [AI Hotel Negotiation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-eliza.md) - [Post-Booking Saving Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fare-bear.md) - [AI-Powered Accommodation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pricing-technology.md) - [Shoppable Travel Storefronts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expedia-travel-shops.md)
