OTA stands for Online Travel Agency, which in English simply means 'booking site'. An OTA is a website where travellers can book products such as a hotel room, transport and activities. The OTA makes sure that your rooms are displayed on the website, handles the booking process for the traveller and is the main contact for the guest. As a hotelier, you can offer your rooms on the OTA in order to increase the number of bookings.
OTA Insight is a system that compares room prices on various sales channels (OTAs, Online Travel Agencies) with the prices of competitors.
With the login below you have access to this system. On the top right you can select which hotel you want to see. We try to add as many project hotels as possible (e.g. THCB, Oostwegel Collection), which are the focus of different modules. The information is updated automatically every night.
