Annual room revenue = ADR × occupancy × rooms × 365. OTA revenue = that × OTA share. Commission = OTA revenue × commission rate. Rooms only — excludes F&B and other revenue.

What you could win back

See how much of that commission you could keep — by shifting bookings to direct.

A 80-room hotel at 65% occupancy and ₹4,500 ADR with 45% OTA share is paying roughly ₹69.18 L a year in commission. A focused direct-booking and channel-mix strategy can recover a meaningful slice of it. Enter your email to reveal the full breakdown.

How You Win It Back

Three ways to cut OTA commission

You don't have to fight the OTAs — you just have to stop depending on them for bookings you could win directly.

A direct-booking engine

A fast, mobile-first booking flow on your own site so guests can book you directly instead of defaulting to an OTA.

Repeat & corporate channels

Loyalty, corporate rate agreements and a CRM that turns one-time OTA guests into commission-free repeat bookings.

Smarter channel mix

Keeping OTAs for reach while steadily moving high-value demand to direct — without breaking rate parity or visibility.

Every booking moved off an OTA saves the full commission — and that saving is pure margin.
