$4.3 billion in tourism earnings. 4.5 million visitors. The Caribbean's highest RevPAR growth. For most independent properties, Booking.com and Expedia kept the majority — at 17–19% commission, with a cancellation rate double that of guests who book direct.
A Kingston property doing 60% occupancy pays roughly $5,100 per quarter in OTA commissions before accounting for anything else. That number grows every year.
Nearly 1 in 5 OTA-booked rooms comes back empty — usually too late to resell at full rate. Direct bookings cancel at just 10.6%. Less than half.
OTA platforms mask guest contact details. After every Booking.com stay, the platform owns the review, the loyalty, and the next booking. You get nothing.
Jamaica leads the Caribbean with 25%+ RevPAR growth. Boutique hotel demand in Kingston is a cited growth segment. Properties that build direct booking infrastructure during this demand surge will own guest databases and review profiles that compound as assets. Those that wait will ride the boom for the platforms instead of themselves.

Direct bookings increase. Reviews improve. Guests return to your property — not a platform. Your guest list grows every month, owned entirely by you.
No setup fees. No long-term contracts. Breaks even after 2 direct bookings per month at average Kingston rates.
For context: Booking.com's commission on 30 bookings/month at $90/night costs more than both plans combined. Single-function tools like Revinate (reviews only) or Guestfolio (messaging only) start at $200–$500/month. This system does what both do — plus the booking page, WhatsApp flow, and guest database — done for you.
No. Keep your OTA listings for visibility. The system builds a direct booking path alongside them — so you capture more bookings without losing discovery. Over time, your direct share grows and your OTA dependency shrinks.
Everything is set up for you. You don't touch any code or software. You respond to guests the way you already do — the system handles the structure, follow-up, and data capture behind the scenes.
7–10 business days from the review call to go-live. We handle the build, you review and approve, then we launch. Most properties are live within the first two weeks.
No long-term contract. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. We keep clients because the system works — not because we lock them in.
Branded hotels have direct booking infrastructure — loyalty programs, booking engines, guest databases. Their OTA share is 35% vs 63.4% for independents. The Direct Booking System gives independent properties the same capability at a fraction of the cost — without the brand overhead.
