You should take into account a few important factors when developing the best plan for your hotel:

Establish your company’s goals
The majority of hotel distribution methods aim to attract more of your target clients, which will lead to more reservations. Achieve alignment between your distribution strategy, sales goals, and target metrics.

Identify who your target market is
The identification of your target guest is one of the key components of developing a distribution strategy. Knowing your target customer will help you choose the most lucrative distribution strategy because your ideal customers frequently make reservations on channels that are consistent with their working style.

Establish business goals that are very specific

Set prices that are competitive
In order to accomplish your objectives, you will require a pricing plan. Keep an eye on the market to ensure that your pricing is reasonable, and base your decision on expected occupancy.
