European Hotel Distribution: Revealed

European hotel distribution is a complex labyrinth of lodging suppliers, distributors and channels.

OTAs, tour operators, bedbanks, wholesalers, travel agents, search engines, metasearch companies and, of course, the hotels themselves control how properties are researched and sold – whether through a network of intermediaries or direct to the consumer. But who is winning?

Online sales continue to grow at more than 3x the rate of offline, and more than one quarter of hotel room revenue is booked via online travel agencies. Is this growth sustainable and what & who is fueling it?
