How to track the most booked hotels and experiences?
Tracking the most booked hotels and experiences in KOOB helps DMCs understand what products drive sales, which destinations perform best, and which TOs are actively promoting their portfolio.
✅ Identify best-performing hotels and experiences
✅ Track top-selling destinations per TO or network
✅ Analyze product volume and seasonality over time
✅ Improve product visibility and prioritize bestsellers
🚀 Objective: Use KOOB exports and Excel tools to analyze booking volumes, highlight your best products, and adapt your strategy accordingly.
Export booking data from KOOB 📦
To identify your top products, extract data from KOOB using one of these options:
Option A – My Bookings → Bookings made directly by your internal team
-
Go to Bookings > My Bookings
-
Apply filters: Booking Period, Typology (Hotels or Experiences), Status
-
Click "Extract to CSV"
Option B – Clients' Bookings → Bookings made by Tour Operators via KOOB
-
Go to Bookings > Clients' Bookings
-
Apply filters: Booking Period, Product Type, TO Name, etc.
-
Click "Extract to CSV"
📌 Tip: Use My Bookings to evaluate internal usage and Clients’ Bookings to evaluate TO activity and product performance in distribution.
Key columns for product analysis 🔍
Once you open the CSV file in Excel, focus on these columns:
Column | Purpose |
---|---|
Hotel/Experience Name | Identify the products being booked |
City / Country | Spot popular destinations |
Status | Focus only on Confirmed bookings |
Tour Operator Name | Understand which TOs push which products |
Booking Date | Evaluate product performance over time |
Selling Price TO | Measure revenue per product (optional) |
💡 Example: You may find that “Avana Retreat” in Vietnam has 40 confirmed bookings over the last 3 months, while other hotels in the same area had fewer than 5.
Count your top booked products 📊
To find out which hotels or experiences are booked the most:
-
Filter your file by Status = Confirmed
-
Group by Hotel/Experience Name
-
Summarize the number of rows per product
-
Sort by descending order to find the top-performing ones
📌 You can also break this down by City or Country to see which destinations attract the most sales.
💡 Tip: Create a table that looks like this for better visibility:
Product Name | City | Confirmed Bookings |
---|---|---|
Avana Retreat | Mai Chau | 40 |
City Food Tour | Hanoi | 28 |
Mekong Sunset Cruise | Can Tho | 23 |
Analyze seasonality and monthly trends 📅
To detect seasonal patterns:
-
Use the Booking Date column
-
Add a new column to tag each booking by month (e.g., Jan 2025, Feb 2025)
-
Count bookings per product, per month
📌 This helps anticipate peaks and adapt your allotments or pricing in advance.
💡 Example: If “Ricefield Cycling Tour” peaks in April and October, you can prioritize availability for those months in advance and promotion (early bird) for the low seaon.
Compare performance by TO or Network 🧩
Use the “Tour Operator Name” or “Network Name” columns to evaluate which TOs are selling which products:
-
Count the number of confirmed bookings per TO per product
-
Use pivot tables or grouped filters to compare easily
📌 Tip: If one TO consistently books the same 3 products, suggest others or offer training to promote more experiences.
💡 Example: You discover that “Easia Travel France” books 90% of their volume on just 5 experiences. You can propose new products to diversify their offer.
Strategic actions based on top products ✅
Once you've identified your most booked hotels and experiences, take action:
✅ Update descriptions, photos, and availability of top products
✅ Ensure top sellers are available in Free Sales if possible
✅ Promote underbooked products by repositioning them
✅ Share best-selling lists with your TOs to inspire sales
✅ Set dynamic margins or seasonal pricing to match demand
💡 Example: After identifying “Sunset Kayaking Experience” as a bestseller in Laos, you move it to the top of the catalog and unlock Free Sales. Bookings could increase by 20% the next quarter.
