HELPING HOTES BREAK FREE FROM BOOKING.COM
In the hospitality industry, disintermediation means reducing reliance on OTAs (Online Travel Agencies such as Booking.com, Expedia, etc.) by increasing direct bookings through the hotel’s own channels (website, email, phone, loyalty programs).
The goal is to keep more profit, own the guest relationship, collect valuable data, and build long-term loyalty.

Why it matters
-
OTAs charge 15%–30% commission on every booking.
-
Direct bookings allow direct contact with the guest: personalized marketing, upselling, and loyalty.
-
Hotels regain control over pricing, promotions, and brand identity.
-
Collecting first-party data enables smarter business decisions.
Disintermediation doesn’t mean deleting OTAs — it means using them strategically while ensuring that guests prefer to book direct whenever possible.
