A few weeks from now, we have a long weekend coming up, but it's just a long weekend in this country, not in the neighbouring country. It's also the weekend of a large music festival. I have 2 rooms left with about three weeks to go. Which is unusual, they both have the same three days available. Let's just say for argument sake that they are priced at $180 a night if you book direct with a special on my website, but $210 elsewhere without the special except that I haven't put it up elsewhere... but that's the normal outside price.
So, I look on BK and the city is about 80% booked. Honestly, when I look, I see very little that compares to what I have that is left.
So, I'm stuck with the choices....

- Put it up on the OTAs and pay commission
- Wait and hope to sell it directly
- Put up the price and then put it up on the OTAs $250 instead of the $180.
- Put up the price of the two nights to cover the three and let people from the neighbours rent the room. So the two nights would be $270 each and the third night free. Or see if I can sell the third night at the normal rate.
