4. METASEARCH, RATE PARITY, AND
PROPAR
4 main websites that concentrate every OTA’s results (Trip
Advisor, Google, Kayak, and Trivago)
You do not have to make alliances with every OTA, just the most
relevant ones for your business
Rate parity is somewhat dying not only because laws are
changing, but also because OTA show different prices, including
or excluding taxes and miscellaneous fees to attract buyers
RevPar is a valuable measure to assess you hotel’s performance,
especially compared to ADR, but does not take into account the
percentage of reservations made through intermediaries that
reduce your effective performance, as opposed to ProPar
