Our Channel Strategy

OTAs for Acquisition, Direct for Retention

We use OTA visibility to win first-time guests. Post-stay emails, loyalty incentives and remarketing then show them the value of booking direct.

Reinvesting Commission

We put part of the commission we save on OTAs into Google Hotel Ads and Meta retargeting. This shifts bookings to direct channels profitably, while the property stays visible against OTA advertising.
