Frequently asked questions
Our webinar answers some of the most common questions about Online Travel Agency (OTA) listings.
What is an OTA?
An Online Travel Agency, or OTA for short, is a third-party website source for travelers to search and book an upcoming stay. Some popular ones include Airbnb, Expedia, Booking.com, and Vrbo.
Should my property be listed on multiple OTAs?
Really it depends on the property and what your goals are. Each OTA does expand your visibility to millions of travelers, but the thing to remember is each is going to charge various OTA fees, so the cost can add up. Also, you shouldn't just list to be everywhere. A strong OTA strategy only focuses on the ones that make sense for your property and guests. For example: a RV park with only RV sites wouldn't make sense on Vrbo, a predominently vacation rental travel site.
What does RateGain's UNO channel manager do?
RateGain's UNO channel manager is unique in that it is a channel manager to channel manager connection. It gives your property access to hundreds of OTAs, perfect for the international and niche connections many are looking for. Here you can sign up individually to those channels, connect them to RateGain, which in turn connects to ResNexus. Manage everything on one platform from day one, simple and easy.
Do OTAs compete with direct bookings?
They don't have to, but it's important to know the difference. Direct bookings, those that come directly through your website, are going to be commission free, meaning you keep everything from the booking. Through an OTA, you'll usually pay a portion of that booking to the third party through an OTA fee. So, the goal is to build a presence through OTAs, but to use your marketing to get those guests to book again directly, saving your business money.
How can I make my property stand out on OTAs?
It all starts with the basics and expands from there. Your photos tell a story, so make sure they tell the one you want told. Complete and accurate property information establishes trust between you and the guest, leading to more positive reviews. Finally, having strong rates and availability can create an overall more positive booking experience.
