Web Booking Engines

A hotel's booking enegine is no longer just a website with a booking widget. It has evolved into a full blown application which has to at least keep up with, if not exceed the benchmarks being set by the Online Travel Agents.

This is one aspect of business you have to keep up with the Joneses. Anything less results in the client finding alternate channels to book through, or worse: another hotel to book at.

OTA's have the advantage, i.e. they have access to multiple hotels and destinations, therefore generate more revenue than independent hotels, enabling them to spend more on their main source of income - their booking engine. They are able to focus on a lot more time and effort on their booking engine than most hotels can.

But this does not mean hotels should give up or resign to paying exhorbitant commission to better equipped sites. There are ways to keep abreast.
