TOP STORY The Hotel Direct Booking Survey 2019 LATEST NEWS FEATURES VIDEOS Editor's comment 05/06/2019
• Avvio CCO Michael de Jongh provided his insight into the findings from the Hotel Direct Booking Survey 2019. While direct bookings will always be an opportunity for hoteliers to get closer to their end users, the costs associated with OTA distribution need to be explored more in the meantime.
A recent ETTSA and Infracta report, called Hotel Distribution Costs, suggested that contrary to widely held belief, direct distribution was only marginally cheaper for hotels than indirect. Click here to find out more about the report's findings.
Whatever your view is on the direct / indirect bookings debate, we would love to hear what you think and how your respective businesses use OTAs in their distribution models.
