Google Vacation Rentals and TripAdvisor are search and metasearch channels: they show your property, rates and availability to travelers who have not decided where to book. Optimizing them means accurate listing content and photos, rate parity and availability across channels, and a direct booking link that is competitive with the OTAs.
Courchevel sells mostly through Chalet agencies, Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo. Private chalet and apartment revenue management here is a weekly inventory problem: a limited run of winter weeks, each worth a different amount. We price every week against its school holiday overlap, open Christmas, New Year and February early with full-week minimums, and protect them from part-week bookings. January and early December need flexibility, with shorter stays and offers for ski clubs. Catered chalets also have to fold staff, food and transfers into the weekly total.
Chalet agencies and tour operators still control much of the British and luxury demand, so their allocations and release dates need managing alongside the OTAs. Booking.com carries French and European apartment bookings, Airbnb sells private chalets and smaller flats, and Vrbo suits families booking whole homes. We keep Saturday changeovers and weekly minimums identical across all of them.
The full service is described on our other ota optimization page; this page covers how it applies in Courchevel.
