Hotel revenue and technology insights

Plain-language guides for hotel owners on pricing, distribution, launches and technology.

RevPAR, ADR and occupancy: what hotel owners should track

Three numbers describe most of a hotel's room performance. Knowing how they connect tells you whether to raise rates, sell more rooms, or both.

Revenue management for small hotels: where to start

You do not need expensive software to begin. Most small hotels gain from a few disciplined habits, applied every week.

How early should a new hotel set up its OTA listings?

Hotels that open with thin listings and no reviews spend their first months catching up. A simple timeline avoids that.

How to choose a channel manager for your hotel

A channel manager sends your rates and availability to every OTA at once and brings bookings back. A poor choice causes overbookings and lost time, so check these points first.

How to reduce OTA commission without losing bookings

OTAs bring guests you might not reach alone, and charge commission for it. The goal is not to leave the OTAs. It is to depend on them less and spend wisely on them.
