Alicante sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Hotels along the coast mix tour operator allotments, all-inclusive packages and direct leisure business, with Benidorm in particular relying on long winter stays from older guests. We manage allotment release dates carefully, price summer weeks against displacement from tour operators, and fill winter with long-stay packages. Alicante city hotels add business and cruise traffic, so their comp set should be separate from beach resorts.
Booking.com and Airbnb lead for shorter stays, while Vrbo is important for families booking villas and larger apartments for a week or more. Many winter guests book directly or return every year, so direct booking matters too. We keep parity, use Vrbo for weekly family stays, and push monthly offers to long-stay guests.
