SINGAPORE – Increase your profits in a digital and data-driven world! The average hotel website conversion rate is 2.2 %, with the top 20 % of hotels having an average conversion rate of 5.6 % and the bottom 20 % having a conversion rate of 0.3 %. These are sweeping averages which might be practical when benchmarking one's hotel but are almost always impossible to use individually.

The conversion rate of a hotel website is determined by so many factors that one shouldn't be fooled into trying to meet an industry average. Instead one needs to understand the elements that make up those rates and try to improve each point. Know more of what an insider's tale on hotel website conversion rate is with this whitepaper.
