02The real bottlenecks

What actually breaks hotels & tourism campaigns in Dhaka.

আসল সমস্যাগুলো

Every vertical has its own leaks — creative fatigue, wrong channel mix, weak tracking. Here's where growth quietly disappears before you spot it.

Diagnostic view of marketing bottlenecks — leaking funnel, warning sign, magnifying glass
01
Issue 01

OTAs eat 18–25% of every booking

Booking.com, Agoda and Traveloka charge 18–25% commission, and worse, they train your future guests to book through them, not you. We build direct-booking funnels that shift the mix, so repeat guests come to your site first.

02
Issue 02

Your website loses to OTA listings on Google

When someone searches your hotel name, Booking.com's ad often outranks you, and books your own guest at a commission. We fix this with brand-defence campaigns, Google Hotel Ads and technical SEO that reclaims your name.

03
Issue 03

Great property, invisible online

Beautiful resorts in Sajek, Bandarban or Kuakata routinely rank behind generic listicles because nobody built proper location pages, seasonal content or travel guides. We fix that with a content strategy that captures the dream-phase traveller.

04
Issue 04

WhatsApp enquiries fall through the cracks

Most hotels get 30–100 WhatsApp enquiries a week and convert 20–30%. We install a proper reservation flow, templated replies, availability calendar, payment link, follow-up sequence, that lifts conversion to 45–60%.

03The playbook

Six steps we deploy for every hotels & tourism client.

When to rebrand

Trigger points we see in hotels & tourism briefs

  • Repositioning from budget to mid-scale/upscale
  • New wing, restaurant, spa or resort launch
  • Joining or leaving a hotel chain / affiliation
  • Guest feedback consistently mentions 'looks dated' or 'inconsistent' branding

The challenge

The team was spending on Meta and Google but couldn't tie any spend back to real revenue. Landing pages were slow, WhatsApp replies took hours, and reporting lived in three different sheets.

What we did

We rebuilt tracking (GA4 + CAPI + server-side), migrated the landing pages to a 90+ PageSpeed template, installed WhatsApp Business API with a 5-minute SLA and a single Looker Studio dashboard the founder could open on their phone.

06FAQ

Questions hotels & tourism clients ask most.

Lightbulb, question marks and speech bubbles representing FAQs
Will you make us leave OTAs entirely?

No, OTAs are still valuable for first-time discovery and international reach. The goal is to shift the mix so more repeat and branded bookings come direct, cutting commission share from 60–70% down to 40–50% over time. You keep the OTA reach; you keep more of the margin.

What is Google Hotel Ads and is it worth it?

Google Hotel Ads shows your rates directly in Google Search/Maps/Travel alongside OTA rates. You can run it on commission-per-booking (only pay when a guest books), very low-risk. For most Bangladesh hotels it's the single fastest way to increase direct booking share.

Can you help with content in Bangla for domestic tourists?

Yes — every destination guide, ad set and WhatsApp template ships in both Bangla and English. Bangla content specifically targets domestic weekenders searching 'সাজেক ট্যুর প্যাকেজ' or 'কক্সবাজার ফ্যামিলি হোটেল'.

How do you measure ROI for a hotel?

Direct bookings by source (organic, Google Ads, Meta, referral, direct), average daily rate, cost per booking, and estimated commission-saved-vs-OTA, all in a live Looker Studio dashboard connected to your booking engine.

What's a realistic monthly budget for a mid-size property?

For a 30–80 room boutique hotel or resort: ৳60,000–৳1,20,000/month total (management + ad spend + Hotel Ads commission) usually shifts the mix meaningfully. Multi-property groups typically run ৳1,50,000–৳3,50,000+/month.
