Naver's direction
Naver says real-time integration with existing reservation systems supports new customer acquisition and operational efficiency, and that industry-specific features such as passport verification will strengthen acquisition of overseas customers and service customization.
For operators
If you run your own booking system, integration determines whether search-to-reservation stays unbroken as an acquisition path.
Features like passport verification matter concretely in inbound-heavy categories, where identity verification steps are a known drop-off point for overseas customers.
Booking data is demand data. Patterns by day and hour accumulate into a basis for adjusting ad scheduling and promotion design — integrating without reading the data uses half the value.
