What are the benefits of direct bookings?
- First off, you can save money on commissions! Yes, that’s right. Direct bookings allow properties to avoid commission fees charged by third-party booking sites such as Booking.com or Expedia. This can result in a higher profit margin for you.
- Another amazing benefit is the personalized service guests can receive. When guests book you directly, you have the opportunity to communicate with them and make special requests or accommodations based on their preferences or needs. This can make your guest’s stay even more enjoyable and personalized.
