Posted on July 22 2019

Online travel agencies are the new trend of the industry that most of the travel agencies started to build their own channels to sell their products and services.

In this blog, we aim to highlight the benefits and revenues that can be driven through OTAs and how can you improve your online travel agency.

Now, let’s numerate the main advantages of OTAs:

• Introduce your products and services to larger customer base.
• A low-cost way for customers to discover more detailed information about your products and services.
• Higher sales opportunity for your products and services.
• More economical sales point than brick and mortal retails.
• Easier distribution channel for your products and services.
• A free way of marketing for your offers.

So, make sure you’re offering the right products to the right audience to ensure the largest sales volume possible for your audience and the best quality of services available.

Now, there are some points that you should take into consideration to improve your OTA and make your sales through the channel more efficient:

• Use a friendly interface that gives the best impression to your customers.
• The more complete your details and content are, the more likely your properties are to be found.
• Give your customers the ability for direct bookings and encourage them with the discounts you offer.
• Offer the highest quality of services possible for your customers.
• Customize your audience by offering the right product to the right audience.
• Visualizing your OTA statistics whether for your customer’s data or discounts data.
• Categorize your content due to the audience requirements and give a brief description for your categories.
• Ensure that you’re offering a competitive rate for your customers because OTAs are everywhere and customers will not buy from a more expensive supplier.

Many contents can be brought here and there from different APIs, make sure you have the right supplier with the right content and competitive rates.

Remember that OTA audiences are not loyal. They prefer the supplier that provides them with the best quality of services and lowest rates possible. Make sure you’re one of them.
