Conversion rates for OTAs & TMCs are very low
(<2% on average for OTAs) (<20% attach rate for TMCs)
The Problem

OLSET provides OTAs and TMCs with a set of APIs which enable you to harness the
power of personalization to improve hotel booking conversion and drive
hotel attach rates

Case study
Let’s look at a simple example
Expedia
• 51% of travelers who book select one of the first 5 hotels
• 95% select hotel on first page
ORBITZ
• 47% of travelers who book select the 1st hotel
• 93% select hotel on first page
12 © Copyright 2014 OLSET. All rights reserved.
But what about the 97% who didn’t book?
13 © Copyright 2014 OLSET. All rights reserved.
Let’s assume that 70% were just browsing
This leaves 30% -
only 1 in 10 book!

Example 3 different traveler types get the exact same recommendations
on Expedia today
Expedia – Luxury Traveler
Expedia – Business Traveler
Expedia – Budget Traveler
If Expedia used OLSET’s APIs the results would look very
different and would be personalized for each traveler
OLSET – Luxury Traveler
OLSET – Business Traveler
OLSET – Budget Traveler
