Hong Kong sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. Hong Kong hotels sell to corporate, MICE and leisure travellers, with trade fairs at HKCEC and AsiaWorld-Expo driving the biggest compressions. We forecast fair calendars a year ahead, limit discounted group and wholesale rates on fair weeks, and fence corporate rates around Art Basel and the Sevens. Mainland Golden Week and Chinese New Year shift demand towards leisure, so promotions should change accordingly.
Booking.com and Agoda lead for international and Asian guests, Trip.com is important for mainland travellers, and Airbnb is relevant only for licensed or longer-stay properties. We keep rate parity, make sure licence details are shown correctly, and use Agoda and Trip.com promotions around Golden Week.
The full service is described on our other hotel ota optimization page; this page covers how it applies in Hong Kong.
