January marks a fresh start — a new year filled with new goals, renewed momentum, and opportunities to grow. As we kick off 2026, our team is starting the year strong with a series of improvements designed to help your hotel operate more efficiently and convert more bookings with confidence. 🎉✨
As 2026 begins, new regulatory requirements come into effect — including mandatory e-Invoice compliance starting January 2026. To help hotels transition smoothly, our team has been working closely behind the scenes to ensure your operations remain compliant, efficient, and uninterrupted from day one.
