More Direct Bookings & Revenue Up to 30% — Less OTA Dependency & Commission, Powered by Data, AI, Content & Creative

The way travelers book hotels has changed. They browse across multiple platforms, compare faster than ever, and decide based on trust, visuals, and storytelling — not just price. Yet many hotels still rely heavily on OTAs, losing up to 30% in commission fees and valuable guest data that could fuel direct marketing. 

From years of experience in hospitality performance marketing, PlaceSpace has seen that real growth doesn’t come from spending more — but from marketing smarter. By combining data-driven insights, AI optimization, and creative storytelling, hotels can achieve measurable growth in direct bookings while reducing marketing costs and OTA dependence.

Data First, Not Guesswork

Before launching any campaign, it’s essential to understand your guests — who they are, what inspires them to book, and which markets perform best. Without that knowledge, marketing becomes guesswork. With accurate data, hotels can identify which audiences convert, what content drives engagement, and where to focus budget for the highest return. A data-first mindset turns marketing into an investment, not an expense.

 Understanding Markets and Property Identity

Every destination attracts travelers for different reasons. Beachfront resorts sell the feeling of freedom and escape, boutique hotels highlight design and community, city hotels thrive on convenience and reliability, and wellness retreats appeal to peace and transformation. Understanding these differences allows each property to focus its story, visuals, and ad placement on the audiences that truly matter. When data and identity align, every campaign feels personal — and every click becomes more valuable.

AI Meets Creativity

Data provides clarity; creativity builds connection. AI helps hotels predict demand, monitor performance, and optimize campaigns in real time. Creative storytelling then transforms these insights into emotional narratives that inspire travelers to book. This balance of logic and emotion — powered by both technology and human imagination — is what creates campaigns that perform efficiently and feel authentic.

Smarter Use of Digital Channels

Different travelers live on different platforms. Reaching them effectively requires a mix of channels that match their behavior: Facebook, Instagram, and LINE Ads for regional audiences; Google Ads for high-intent searches; TikTok and Native Ads for discovery and storytelling; and Yandex or VK for Russian-speaking travelers. By optimizing ad placement by traveler intent and geography, hotels build real connections and sustainable visibility.
