Why this book

OTAs bring the guests. The wrong setup takes the profit.

Most properties list on several OTAs, switch on every promotion and hope for the best. Commission creeps up, rankings drop, parity breaks and nobody knows which channel actually pays.

The OTA Mastery Playbook is the system Revgrow360 uses to manage OTAs for hotels every day, written step by step. You will learn how each OTA ranks properties, which programmes pay back, how to price and restrict rates, and how to read your reports every week.
