How it works

A simplified two-channel model: direct and OTA bookings total 100%. Current commission = revenue × OTA share × commission rate. The comparison also includes variable direct booking costs and the additional fixed costs entered. Revenue stays the same in both scenarios. Treat taxes, discounts and the commission basis consistently.

How to use the result

Compare realistic target shares. Lower commission is not automatically additional profit: advertising, payments, booking technology and staff can add costs. Negative savings mean higher costs. Existing direct booking costs are included in both scenarios.

Less routine work
