&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;When opening a new property, securing those initial bookings can be challenging, especially when competing against established properties. Susana Ramírez Horta, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Tafer Hotels &amp;amp; Resorts, shares how she leverages Expedia Group&#039;s tools to increase visibility for both new and established properties. Susana explains that as Tafer prepares to open a new property, they use Expedia Group&#039;s pay-per-stay Accelerator tool to ensure it appears at the top of search results for travelers.
