Key data fields to analyze ๐Ÿงฉ

Column Description
๐Ÿจ Hotel Name / Product Name The name of the booked hotel or experience
๐ŸŒ City Location of the product
๐Ÿค Provider The supplier (DMC, bedbank)
๐Ÿ“Œ Status Filter for โ€œConfirmedโ€ only to ensure accuracy
๐Ÿ“† Booked On When the booking was made
๐Ÿ“† Start At / End At Shows actual travel periods to analyze demand
๐Ÿ‘ฅ Number of Guests Indicates booking size and capacity needs
๐Ÿ’ฐ Total Price Useful to calculate revenue per product

๐Ÿ“Œ Example: A TO wants to see which Bangkok hotels are most booked. They filter the report by Hotel Name and Status = Confirmed, then count reservations per property.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Use a pivot table to count bookings by hotel or experience name.

 

Identify the most booked hotels ๐Ÿจ

To determine top-performing hotels:

  • Filter the report by Status = Confirmed

  • Sort or group by Hotel Name

  • Count the number of bookings per hotel

  • Compare results by month or quarter

 

๐Ÿ“Œ Example:

  • Hotel A โ†’ 120 bookings

  • Hotel B โ†’ 95 bookings

  • Hotel C โ†’ 70 bookings


๐Ÿ’ก Tip: If bookings decline, check for availability or pricing concerns and review reviews or feedback.

 

Identify top-selling experiences ๐ŸŽŸ

To analyze experience performance:

  • Filter by Product Name and Status = Confirmed

  • Count confirmed bookings per experience

  • Compare trends by period (month, season, etc.)

๐Ÿ“Œ Example: โ€œBangkok Floating Market Tourโ€ had 150 bookings in Q1, but only 90 in Q2 โ€” this indicates a seasonal shift or market saturation.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Adjust promotions and seasonality campaigns based on experience performance.

 

Track revenue contribution by product ๐Ÿ’ฐ

To understand which products generate the most revenue:

  • Filter confirmed bookings only

  • Group by Hotel Name or Experience Name

  • Sum the Total Price column per product

๐Ÿ“Œ Example: A high-end resort may get fewer bookings than a 3-star hotel but generate 5ร— more revenue โ€” valuable insight for prioritization.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Focus marketing efforts on products that generate high revenue per booking, not just volume.

 

Use booking data to improve supplier strategy ๐Ÿค

By analyzing hotel and experience bookings, you can:

โœ… Strengthen relationships with top-performing suppliers
โœ… Negotiate better rates with most-booked hotels
โœ… Replace underperforming products with better alternatives
โœ… Promote best-selling experiences during high seasons

๐Ÿ“Œ Example: A TO sees Hotel X has the most bookings but also the most cancellations โ€” indicating a potential issue with stock visibility or reliability.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Combine booking volume and revenue data to build a well-balanced supplier strategy.
