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.

Every rate decision should factor in net value, not just top-line revenue.
