Overview

What is Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Davos?

Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on other OTAs. I optimize your rental on Expedia and Hotels.com, Agoda, HomeToGo, Plum Guide and other platforms, one channel at a time, with parity checked.

What I plan around in Davos: World Economic Forum annual meeting; Parsenn and Jakobshorn ski areas; Spengler Cup ice hockey at New Year; Summer hiking and congresses. Guests I price for: WEF delegates and companies on week-long bookings, ski families and congress visitors. Where I start: WEF week contracting a year ahead, ski-week pricing and cantonal guest tax.

Davos sells mostly through Direct corporate rentals, Booking.com and Airbnb. I set the pricing tool for ski weeks, Christmas and Spengler Cup, with WEF week blocked for direct contracts, and summer rates that use the guest card as part of the value. I also check that minimum stays and changeover days follow the ski calendar.

The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Davos.

My take on Davos

Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Davos: how I approach it

Beyond Airbnb and Booking.com, Davos and Klosters rentals can benefit from Swiss holiday rental portals, ski specialists and WEF accommodation agencies that place delegations. I compare commission, payment timing and contract terms, add channels one at a time and keep the calendar synchronised to avoid double bookings in peak weeks.

I start by reviewing any WEF agency offers alongside one Swiss ski portal, then decide which to use for the coming winter.

Expedia, Agoda and Other OTA Expert in Davos & Klosters, Switzerland
December to early JanuaryPeak

Christmas, New Year and the Spengler Cup make late December the second peak after WEF, so I set the highest ski-season rates and require stays of a week or more.

January (WEF week)Peak

The World Economic Forum is priced as a separate contract with companies and agencies, with long rental periods, clear deposits and terms agreed well ahead.

Davos Platz

Close to the congress centre, Jakobshorn and the WEF zone, this area carries the highest WEF and congress value, so I price conference weeks separately from ski weeks.

My view

Which extra channels are worth it

Not every platform pays for every property. Before adding a channel I look at your market, property type and booking mix and tell you which are likely to earn their place. Then I optimize only those, and leave the rest alone.

Who it is for

When Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals makes sense in Davos

A new other OTAs listing

You have just connected other OTAs and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.

Views but few bookings

Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on other OTAs.

Commission without much return

You pay other OTAs commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.

A portfolio with uneven quality

Some listings are polished on other OTAs and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.

How it works

  1. 01

    I make the changes live on Zoom in your other OTAs account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.

Step 4
