About Hotels marketing
Independent hotels, B&Bs, and boutique lodging properties are competing in two parallel universes: the OTA universe (Booking.com, Expedia) where guests find them and pay 15-25% in commissions, and the direct-booking universe where margins exist. The properties that thrive in 2026 use AI to convert OTA discovery into direct loyalty.
