Packages and Deals: The Golden Key to Boosting Conversions
Special offers and packages on Booking.com are powerful tools that directly impact your hotel's conversion rate. According to Booking.com data, hotels with at least one active deal achieve a 28% higher conversion rate compared to those without. Additionally, listings that include Booking deals stand out in search results with special tags, increasing click-through rates.

Deal Performance Tracking
Always monitor the performance of each deal:
Metrics to Track
- Incrementality: Are you offering discounts to guests who would have booked even without the deal?
- ADR impact: Did the average daily rate decrease?
- Occupancy increase: What is the actual increase in occupancy?
- Net revenue: Is there an increase in net revenue after the discount?
- Segment shift: Was a high-paying segment lost?
