OTAs invest millions of dollars in advertising, which can be a major benefit for hotels looking to succeed online. This advertising helps increase their visibility and attract more guests. By partnering with OTAs, you can tap into the large marketing budgets of these companies and reach a wider audience.  

By leveraging the advertising investments of OTAs, you can maximise your property’s online visibility, attract more guests, and increase your revenue. Some of the key reasons for the importance of OTAs for hotels include: 

Increased Visibility: A large percentage of travellers turns to OTAs to search for and book their travel accommodations, which increases visibility for hotels that have a strong online presence on these platforms.

Convenient Booking Platform: OTAs provide travellers with a convenient platform to compare prices, check availabilities, and book their trips. This can make it easier for them to book a room, leading to increased bookings for hotels.

Access to a Wider Audience: Online Travel Agencies have a large customer base, which provides properties with access to a wider audience and the opportunity to attract new guests.

User-Generated Reviews: Many OTAs allow customers to leave reviews which can help build the reputation of hotels and provide valuable insights for improvement.

The reach and advertising investments of some OTAs make them especially important for hotels looking to increase their online presence and drive bookings. By carefully considering the benefits and drawbacks of different OTAs and selecting the right partners, hotels can maximise the value of their OTA partnerships and have a chance to grow their business. 

Having a presence on OTAs is an important aspect of a hotel’s online strategy – but it is not enough on its own. To best take advantage of being on Online Travel Agencies, properties must also optimise their online presence on these platforms. This involves taking steps to make sure that their listings are accurate, up-to-date, and appealing to potential guests. Improving the quality of the information and images on a hotel’s OTA listing can help the property stand out from competitors and attract more bookings. 

Hotels must also stay on top of their OTA promotions and discounts because evaluating and adjusting these can help increase bookings, optimise pricing strategies, and increase revenue.
