• Internet presence to provide information at any time. Having a website means that companies can be accessible at any time and place, this being an essential feature in the hospitality market. The most used tool in these cases is Google My Business, which improves the visibility of companies on the Internet. In this way, companies retain their potential customers and provide a much more effective service. All this implies changes in the processes of interaction with users that in the long term benefit the business strategy of a business.

This is so, mainly because the sector’s clients require greater agility in company identification processes and ease of access to information. Thanks to the automation through certain tools of the web pages, the target audience is able to find the company easily.
