Hotel loyalty program fees can support direct demand while adding a property cost that rises with rooms revenue, changing the contribution retained from branded bookings.
Loyalty demand can reduce reliance on third-party distribution while still carrying program fees, reservation charges, brand assessments, and redemption costs.
