Your hotel's ballroom could get sold... by an OTA.

Hospitality has always been personal. Now it's going digital, fast.

Social functions. Corporate events. Even full bookings, all of it can slip to third parties if hoteliers aren't paying attention.

The properties winning right now?

They've made direct bookings and guest experience their #1 priority, not an afterthought.

We sat down with someone who's seen this shift up close. What he said should make every hotelier rethink their strategy.

Full episode of Down The Rabbit Hole drops soon. Stay tuned.

Your rate isn’t really “your” rate.

42% of businesses in APAC are still driven by OTAs. Why? Rate parity clauses often stop hotels from publishing a lower rate anywhere else, even their own website. So guests compare, find “a better rate elsewhere,” and book away.

Even the bigger chains feel this squeeze.

The fix: know your parity clause, track direct vs OTA bookings, invest in the guest experience that earns direct trust.

The best hotel salespeople barely pitch.

They ask. They listen. They figure out what the client actually needs before saying a word about rooms or rates.

That's the art of selling hospitality, and few people know it better than Abhishek Rajgolkar, Regional Director, Sales Operations South Asia at Hilton.

On the new episode of Down the Rabbit Hole, he takes us from his first sales job to leading sales across markets, and shows how sales, revenue, marketing and distribution are becoming one team.

Plus: what AI means for the future of hotel sales. 👀

3-4 years back, Mr. Rajgolkar tried to land a major APAC conference.

The hotel inventory was there. Rooms, ready to go.

Then it fell apart. Not to a competitor. To a visa. Thousands of delegates couldn't get one in time, and in MICE, that's a deal-breaker no hotelier can fix alone.

On this episode of Down The Rabbit Hole, we unpack what actually wins global conferences: not just hotel rooms, but roads, connectivity, and hospitality infrastructure working together, the way Dubai does it, where a taxi shows up in 3 to 5 minutes even with crowds everywhere.

For every hotelier and hospitality leader chasing MICE business, this is the story you need to hear.

Stay tuned for the full episode. 🎙️

Brands no longer judge events by footfall alone. For most consumer activations, how far an event travels online matters just as much.

In this feature with @medianews4u , our founder Naveen Gupta talks about designing events people want to film, proving ROI beyond attendance, and where AI and AR earn their place in the room.

Down the Rabbit Hole has crossed a million views across 10 episodes and we didn't expect that when we started this.

It was always meant to be a real look at events and hospitality, not a rehearsed one, and that honesty seems to be exactly what people connected with.

Thanks for listening this far.
More is coming soon.
