Your direct booking scenario
This is arithmetic on the numbers you enter. It is not a forecast or a promise of results, and it leaves out what you spend to win direct bookings, such as marketing and booking engine fees.
How the math works
Room revenue is your average daily rate times your room nights. OTA revenue is the share of that revenue booked through OTAs, and commission is your contract rate applied to it. The scenario line then shows how much of that commission stays with the hotel at the share you choose.
Commission is only part of the picture. A guest who books direct also gives you the guest relationship and the chance to sell upgrades and return stays. Some travelers who find you on an OTA also search your hotel name before booking, so your own direct booking presence is often the place to start.
