  • Sure. Inside you will find all the helpful directions that will guide you in filling out the file.

  • You can choose to draw from the sales channel you prefer (Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, website or information available to you). Remember that once you have selected the data source, you must continue to use it when you update the file later. Only in this way will the final analysis remain consistent and reliable over time.

  • It is critical to know who is acting in your locality and how they are acting, so you can differentiate yourself in a targeted way, filling any gaps in your area's offerings. Keeping track of others' prices also gives you valuable extra information to refer to. But remember that it is not advisable to calibrate your rates just by looking at others', because you risk losing sight of many equally important variables.
