How Much Are Online Travel Agencies (OTA's) Taking From Your Hotel?
Calculate how much your hotel could be paying in OTA commissions every day, month, and year.
That's approximately ₱45,000 per month.
Your OTA Revenue Breakdown
What if you could reduce your OTA dependence?
If some of your OTA bookings were converted into direct bookings, you could potentially keep more of your booking revenue.
ONLINE TRAVEL AGENCY vs WEBSITE DIRECT BOOKING
Which is Better?
OTAs can provide valuable exposure and help fill rooms, especially when your hotel is new or has limited online visibility.
However, every booking through an OTA typically comes with a commission, and the guest relationship is largely managed through the OTA platform.
Common challenges include:
- OTA commissions reducing your booking revenue
- Less control over the guest relationship
- Limited access to customer data
- Strong competition with other hotels on the same platform
- Dependence on third-party platforms
When guests book directly through your website, you have greater control over the booking experience and the relationship with the customer.
Benefits can include:
- Keep more revenue from each booking
- Build your own customer database
- Encourage repeat bookings
- Promote special offers directly
- Control your brand experience
- Upsell rooms, packages, and additional services
The Best Strategy? Don't Eliminate OTAs—Balance Them.
OTAs can be an important part of your hotel's marketing strategy. The goal isn't necessarily to stop using them.
The goal is to use OTAs to attract travelers while building a website and SEO strategy that encourages more guests to book directly.
