Westport sells mostly through Booking.com and Airbnb. For Westport and Mayo hotels I work on bank holiday pricing, weddings and family packages, plus length-of-stay controls on summer weekends.

Trip.com optimization for hotels in Westport: how I approach it
Trip.com rarely matters to Westport hotels, with only occasional bookings from Asian visitors touring Connemara and Mayo. Where it is connected, I keep the profile complete and rates level, and make sure the description explains the town, Croagh Patrick and the drive from Knock. My effort goes to Booking.com, Google and direct, where most of the town's guests actually book.
I start by checking last year's Trip.com bookings, then either complete the profile properly or recommend disconnecting it to reduce parity risk.
March to MayShoulder
Easter, the May bank holiday and the first greenway cyclists bring early demand, so I lift weekends and publish summer weeks before families start planning.
June to AugustPeak
Families and couples fill the town, the pilgrimage lifts the end of July and the August bank holiday is the top weekend, so I hold weekly rates on the coast and short stays in town.
Murrisk and Louisburgh
At the foot of Croagh Patrick and on the road to the south Mayo beaches, these homes get pilgrims, walkers and families, priced around the July climb and summer weeks.
Trip.com is the leading channel for Chinese outbound travel, and its guests book differently, expect different services and reward different signals. If your market receives these visitors, a profile written for them is a separate piece of work, not a translation.

You have just connected Trip.com 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 Trip.com.

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