Industry challenges
The Hospitality marketing challenges we solve.
Seasonal Demand
UAE hospitality has pronounced seasonal swings, from peak winter tourism to a quieter summer, and a campaign that runs the same budget and message year-round wastes spend in the trough and under-invests at peak. Campaigns need to flex with the season rather than run on a flat monthly budget.
OTA vs. Direct-Booking Intent
A guest searching a specific hotel name is often close to booking, but whether they book direct or through an OTA like Booking.com or Expedia depends heavily on price parity and the strength of the direct-booking offer. Campaigns aimed at recovering direct bookings need a genuinely better reason to book direct, not just a landing page next to the OTA listing.
Visual-Led Campaigns
A hotel or resort sells an experience, and strong photography and video of the property consistently outperform text-led promotion, in the same way food photography drives F&B advertising. Creative quality is one of the biggest performance levers in this category.

In depth
What hospitality brands need
Campaigns that flex with the UAE's seasonal demand curve rather than running a flat budget and message year-round, so spend concentrates where occupancy pressure is highest and eases off during the quieter months. A genuine direct-booking strategy that competes with OTA dependence on more than price, since price parity rules limit how far a direct rate can undercut an OTA listing. Visual-led creative built around real property photography and video, since a hotel or resort sells an experience before it sells a room rate.
Channels that work
Meta and Instagram carry the visual weight of the brand and build demand ahead of the booking window, particularly for resorts and experience-led stays. Google Search and Performance Max capture guests already searching a property or destination by name, where a strong direct-booking landing page and Google Hotel Ads presence recover bookings that would otherwise go to an OTA. SEO for hotel and destination search terms compounds over multiple seasons rather than resetting each year.
Proven results
We do not have a verified, named hotel or resort case study to cite on this page yet, and we would rather say that plainly than stretch a client from a different sector to fit. What we can show is our track record across the wider portfolio: AED 2.5M+ in managed ad spend, 100+ brands scaled across the UAE & GCC, 90%+ client retention, and 50,000+ leads and conversations generated across Google Ads, Meta and SEO.
The same seasonal-budgeting discipline and visual-led creative process that produced those results applies to a hospitality account from day one.
Pricing
Our management fee runs from AED 3,000 to 5,000 per month for a single channel, and AED 8,000 to 25,000 per month for a full-service retainer covering Google Ads, Meta and SEO together. That fee is entirely separate from ad spend, which goes directly to Google or Meta and which you fund directly.
Engagements run month to month with no lock-in, and we confirm the exact scope and price after a free audit of your property and current OTA versus direct-booking mix.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does hospitality marketing cost in the UAE?
Our management fee runs from AED 3,000 to 5,000 per month for a single channel, and AED 8,000 to 25,000 per month for a full-service retainer covering Google Ads, Meta and SEO together. That fee is separate from ad spend, which goes directly to Google or Meta. We confirm the exact scope and price after a free audit of your property and current seasonal calendar.
Can you help us recover bookings from OTAs like Booking.com?
We build campaigns aimed at recovering direct bookings, using Google Hotel Ads, Search and retargeting alongside a stronger direct-booking offer and landing page. Price parity rules limit how far a direct rate can undercut an OTA listing, so the campaign has to compete on more than price, typically through loyalty perks, flexible cancellation or genuine added value.
How long does hospitality marketing take to show results?
Google Ads and Meta can generate booking enquiries within the first couple of weeks once creative and tracking are in place, though results should be read against the seasonal demand curve rather than a flat monthly baseline. SEO for hotel and destination search terms follows the same 3 to 6 month timeline as any other sector.
