The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of hotel ratings on social networks and
how they affect hotel revenues. From 48 hotels´ monthly data (between August 2014 and July
2015) of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, the following variables were analyzed: GRI (Global Review Index), Offer, Demand, Sale, RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) and Location; by conglomerates
analysis and a linear model. It was found that a better GRI favors a better ratio between sales
and supply. Specifically, we observe that when the GRI increases by one unit, the RevPAR grows
by 0.49%, keeping the rest of the variables constant. It is the first research conducted in South
