The key to almost any hotel project is to increase the level and share of direct bookings. First, why pay commission to an online travel agent (OTA)? Secondly, who would you want to control the relationship with your guests and visitors?

After more than twenty years of hotel marketing experience, we understand the different marketing needs of different styles of hotels and how to boost occupancy, revenue and margins. By improving mid-week or weekend occupancy, by promoting weddings and events, by getting bookings for businesses and conferences, or by promoting spa breaks and cultural weekends.

The key is always to become a prominent hotel for searches for your destination, the services you provide and to reduce the dependency on online travel agents who charge increasing levels of commission.
