The Future of Hotel Bookings is Direct

By 2030, direct digital bookings are projected to surpass OTAs, generating over $400 billion in global hotel gross bookings (source: Skift Research). This shift offers you, as a hotelier, the opportunity to strengthen guest relationships and capture more revenue.

At InHotel, we’re co-building an interconnected AI-powered ecosystem together with any interested travel planner app developers, traveler acquisition platforms, DMOs, and PMS providers to facilitate direct bookings that retain commissions within the industry and offer ultra-personalized stays with low commission rates (0% to 15%).

To leverage the emerging AI-powered direct booking platforms, hoteliers need an AI-powered Reservations Assistant (chatbot successor) that:

  • Engages travelers, communities, and travel sites across multiple channels, 24/7.
  • Collaborates with your hotel AI agents (e.g., takes Revenue guidance).
  • Differentiates offerings with tailored experiences, showcasing your hotel’s unique strengths.
  • Negotiates packages and takes reservations.

Are you ready to transform your booking strategy?

We invite you to support this shift away from the OTA-centric model dominance and gain early access to exclusive benefits. We will move forward only if at least 5,000 accommodations providers express interest.

Business Models

We intend to support multiple business models that meet the above stated core values. Here is how they compare to the typical OTAs:

Model
How it works
Balanced Commissions
A 15% commission will be distributed as a 5% discount for travelers, a 5% bonus to the hotel that originally referred the traveler to the platform, and a 5% platform fee. These balanced benefits are designed to organically grow and scale the network.
Traveler Incentives
Zero commission, passing savings to travelers. Your hotel’s AI negotiates directly with travelers via their AI, offering exclusive perks like a 5% discount off OTA rates along with options they can choose from — whether it’s free airport pickup, a dinner voucher, a refreshing bottle of juice in their room, or late checkout. These low-cost gestures can make all the difference, often becoming the deciding factor for travelers who value these extras and feel that you genuinely care about their experience.
Low Commissions
Each participating hotel gains access to an Annual Booking Allowance with 5% commissions. Bookings beyond this allowance carry a 10% commission. Hotels can increase the allowance through referrals.
Commission-Free
Hotels pay a fixed subscription fee, with all bookings processed at zero commission.
