Hotels Can Combat OTA Revenue Leakage by Addressing Commission Discrepancies, No-Show Abuse, and Payment Inconsistencies
📈 Online travel agencies (OTAs) cause revenue leakage for hotels through commission discrepancies, unpaid reservations, cancellation abuse, and rate parity issues. Recovery involves identifying leakage points, aligning revenue, distribution, and finance teams, and implementing steps like regular OTA audits, accountability, and tracking net channel profitability. Effective management ensures that each booking contributes positively to hotel profits. Key steps include improving data visibility across systems and focusing on profit alongside revenue in modern distribution strategies.
