What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, reservations made through non-direct channels incur a cost of $2.00 per booking. These non-direct channels are categorized as OTA/Channel, which stands for Online Travel Agencies and other similar booking platforms.
This fee is charged for each reservation that originates from sources other than Camp Margaritaville's direct booking system. This implies that franchisees will need to factor this cost into their pricing and revenue management strategies for bookings acquired through third-party platforms.
Understanding this cost is crucial for franchisees to accurately assess the profitability of different booking channels and optimize their marketing and distribution efforts. It also highlights the importance of driving direct bookings to minimize these per-booking fees and improve overall revenue margins for the Camp Margaritaville location.
