The Future of Hotel Distribution – A Choice, Not a Trap

Hotels that stay fully dependent on OTAs will face:
❌ Rising commission fees
❌ No control over guest relationships
❌ Stagnant direct booking growth

Hotels that take control will:
✅ Own their pricing & brand positioning
✅ Increase guest lifetime value
✅ Invest in long-term profitability

Sacrificed profit today = sacrificed investments for the future. The good news? The shift starts with just 10-20% of inventory.

💡 If you’re ready to break free from the OTA hamster wheel, what’s your first step? Let’s discuss.

How Hotels Can Take Back Control (Without Losing OTA Business)

You don’t need to ditch OTAs—you need to balance the scales.

Here’s how hotels can claw back 10-20% of bookings:

1️⃣ Make direct pricing unbeatable (Best Rate Guarantee, exclusive perks)
2️⃣ Improve your booking engine UX (Fewer clicks, frictionless checkout)
3️⃣ Leverage data (Target past OTA guests with direct-only offers)
4️⃣ Retarget website visitors (Catch them before they go back to OTAs)
5️⃣ Train your team (Upsell direct benefits at check-in & checkout)

Start small—shift 5% first and reinvest the margin into direct booking growth.

Today's Revenue Management thought:-

How Much Profit Are You Losing to Third Parties?

Here’s a simple way to look at it:

For every €1,000,000 in room revenue, losing 20% to OTAs = €200,000 gone in commissions.

🚨 What could your hotel do with that €200K instead?
✔ Build a killer direct booking funnel
✔ Invest in smarter revenue management
✔ Train staff to convert lookers into bookers

The reality: Hotels sacrifice future growth every time they accept over-reliance on OTAs as “just the way it is.”

Reclaiming even 10-20% of inventory for direct bookings could shift the balance.

Where would you reinvest OTA savings? Let’s brainstorm in the comments.

The OTA Addiction – Are Hotels Their Own Worst Enemy?

Many hoteliers complain about high OTA commissions but…
❌ Still price their direct channels higher
❌ Still prioritize OTAs over their own website
❌ Still lack a proper direct booking strategy

The result? OTAs own the guest relationship, control demand, and dictate terms—while hotels scramble for profitability.

Hotels don’t need to eliminate OTAs—but they do need to stop feeding the addiction.

What if you shifted just 10-20% of bookings to direct and reinvested that margin into tech, talent & targeted digital marketing?

💬 How reliant is your hotel on OTAs today? Let’s talk in the comments.

Today's Revenue Management thought:-

The Hidden Cost of Overdependence on OTAs

Many hotels feel stuck—relying on third-party distribution while watching profits shrink.

Why? Underinvestment in talent, technology, and digital marketing.

Every euro lost to commissions is a euro not spent on:
💻 Better direct booking technology
📢 Stronger brand marketing
🛎 Upskilled teams who drive profitability

Sacrificed profit today = sacrificed investment for the future.

But here’s the thing—breaking free doesn’t mean cutting off OTAs entirely. A strategic shift of just 10-20% of inventory to direct channels could change the game.

Are you ready to get off the OTA hamster wheel? Stay tuned for practical steps in my next post.

This Isn’t Just About More Money—It’s About a Better Stay. ✨

If you think upselling is just about squeezing more cash out of guests, you’re doing it all wrong.

Ryanair doesn’t force you to pay for extra legroom—you pay because it makes your journey better.

Same for hotels. When upselling is done properly, it:
✔️ Creates a better guest experience (a better room, a better breakfast, a more relaxing checkout).
✔️ Gives guests more control over their stay (nobody books late checkout unless they actually want it).
✔️ Increases satisfaction (guests who choose extras are usually happier!).

Hotels need to ditch the mindset that selling is intrusive.

It’s not about pressure—it’s about giving guests better choices.

The final question: Are you running a hotel—or a “room-only” business model while ignoring huge revenue opportunities?

Your turn: What’s stopping your hotel from being a revenue-generating machine? 👇
