High OTA commissions erode margins and loyalty.
Why winning in the age of high commissions?
Sales channels in 2025 hospitality are dominated by OTAs, charging 15-25% commissions that squeeze margins

Direct engagement models increase profitability, loyalty, and control over customer data. The aim is to control the relationship through direct growth strategies.
