Before prioritizing any of your booking platforms, make sure that you know the pros and cons of each – calculate the earnings and costs associated with each and measure performance. You may be surprised by the results!
Evaluate your channels
Having a website for your hotel is such a fundamental prerequisite today so I’m not going to elaborate. But that’s not enough – you need to invest time, money and effort to optimize it for traffic and conversions, and that isn’t an overnight process so be patient!
Optimizing your website
