Monday Revenue Rethink
Stop using cancellation policy as punishment, use it as a revenue lever
Your cancellation terms are more than fine print. They shape guest behaviour, payment speed, and cash flow.
Hotels often default to harsh terms, thinking they “protect” revenue. But in my experience, flexible policies with smart payment rules often drive more bookings, and unlock upsell potential.

Monday Revenue Rethink
Why your cheapest OTA booking costs you more than you think
Just because a room is filled doesn’t mean it’s profitable. I see too many hotels overlook the real cost of OTA business: high commission, low spend, and zero loyalty.
A €100 OTA guest who brings no extras is not equal to a €100 direct guest who books dinner, spa, and returns next year.
Every rate decision should factor in net value, not just top-line revenue.
📌 Follow me every Monday for no-nonsense pricing truths.
