Everything we know, given away.

Real numbers, published sources, and the parts most agencies keep quiet — including where our own pricing is higher than it should be. If you read these and decide to do the work yourself, that's a fair outcome.

What OTA commission really costs a Philippine resort

Commission runs 15–20%, so ₱500,000 a month in online bookings costs ₱75k–₱100k of it. The arithmetic against your own payout report, what 30% direct actually retains — and why cancelling the OTAs is the wrong move.

Why we publish this

Giving away the method is the marketing.

An agency that won't tell you what things cost, or how it works, is usually protecting a margin it can't justify. We'd rather publish the benchmark that shows we're 1.5–4.6× above local competitors and then explain what the difference buys.

Some readers will take the numbers and hire someone cheaper. That's fine — they were never going to buy accountability. The ones who stay arrive already understanding what they're paying for, which makes for far better projects.
