GCP Hospitality runs a diverse portfolio of independent hotels and hostels across Asia-Pacific, from luxury resorts to brand-forward hostels like Haka House in New Zealand. The group takes an analytics-first approach to distribution, balancing OTA visibility with sustainable direct booking growth. For revenue leaders Michaël Bélanger and Leo Fyot, the challenge was turning first-time OTA guests into repeat direct bookers across remote APAC destinations.

Why it matters: Triptease Metasearch now drives 15% of direct revenue at GCP Hospitality with an 18x ROAS, while exit messaging has generated over $170k in additional revenue.

GCP uses Triptease Metasearch to bid smarter in auctions where guests are most likely to convert, including the tricky category of single beds in shared hostel rooms. Triptease Messages adds website personalization, with exit messaging converting over 5% of potential leavers into direct bookers.

Top 3 Core Objectives: GCP Hospitality wanted to reduce over-reliance on OTAs across its APAC portfolio and convert first-time OTA guests into loyal direct bookers for future stays.

Balance channel mix: Grow direct bookings year on year without abandoning the OTA discovery role, targeting 20 to 30% direct share in key leisure markets.
Win rate-aware guests: Capture guests who compare prices across platforms late in the booking journey, ensuring the final booking lands on the direct channel.
Drive team adoption: Equip both corporate and on-property teams with tools they can actually use, regardless of technical or marketing background.

"It's been very easy for us to encourage adoption at the hotel level because the system is intuitive. Even a GM can just look and see how much business they're getting. In many ways it's far better than Google Analytics, which gives too much information for someone not trained in digital marketing. We use it regularly in our performance reviews."
