Which distribution channels?
For now the hotel, in their distribution (so getting customers and occupancy in the hotel) mainly relies on its own sales. So in the variable costs you will see no costs for this at all.
This situation doesn't really match reality anymore. Looking at the market as a benchmark, it would be more realistic to have:
- 30% directly from the own reservation system (CRS), royal customers, website etc.
- 20% via agents (OTA, travel companies, partners etc), who would get 10% commission on an average
- 30% via [[aggregator|aggregators] like Bookings.com, who would get 10% commission on an average
- 15% via affiliate links, who you would pay (cost per sale) commission would be like 5% on an average.
- 5% via Daydeal sites like Groupon
