The 2025 Hotel Challenge: More direct bookings and less reliance on OTAs
In a world where 70% of hotel bookings are made online, hotels that do not have an optimized digital strategy are losing business opportunities. The high dependence on OTAs (Booking, Expedia, Despegar) reduces profitability, as they charge commissions of up to 25% for each booking.
The key to attracting qualified traffic, improving conversion and maximizing profitability is to work with a digital agency in Bogota specialized in hotels, such as Digisap, which combines SEO, SEM, Social Ads and web optimization to boost direct bookings.
How can a Digital Agency in Bogota increase Hotel Bookings?
1. Hotel Website Design and Optimization to Increase Conversion
A hotel’s website is its main sales channel, but if it is not optimized, traffic is not converted into bookings.
✔ Intuitive and responsive design: Adapted to mobiles and with fast loading times.
✔ O ptimized booking engine: Easy to use and frictionless in the checkout process.
