If you\u2019ve been in hospitality for a while, you\u2019ve probably felt the shift. A decade ago, OTAs (online travel agencies) like Booking.com and Expedia<\/a> were the default growth engine for hotels. They brought in bookings, handled the marketing, and opened up your property to an international audience you might not have reached otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the thing – that convenience comes at a cost. Literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commission fees have quietly eaten away at profit margins year after year. In many cases, that\u2019s 15\u201325% of the booking value gone before the guest even arrives. And on top of that, OTAs own the customer relationship. They have the data. They decide how your property is presented. They can (and do) push competing hotels right alongside yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, hotels can\u2019t afford to give away that much control. That\u2019s why your own website – built right, marketed efficiently, optimized thoroughly – can and should be your strongest sales channel. It\u2019s the one place you have full control over your brand, your offers, and your guest relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
