When looking at hotel direct bookings vs OTAs there are a lot more differences than similarities. While both can help drive revenue, build your hotel’s reputation, and allow guests to make reservations, direct bookings are without a doubt more beneficial to hotels overall as they give you a chance to highlight special offers and keep a higher revenue margin. One example we came across recently was from the Avanti Palms Resort & Conference Center in Orlando. As a special offer for booking directly through their website, guests will receive up to 23% savings on room rates and a $25 dining credit. In a perfect world, hotels would only rely on direct means for booking as it is the most profitable and provides the best margins. What are your thoughts on Direct Bookings vs. OTAs? #hospitalitymarketing
