What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for direct reservations is $1.00 per booking. This fee falls under the 'Booking and Distribution Platform' category.
This means that for every direct reservation made at a Camp Margaritaville location, the franchisee will incur a $1.00 charge. These direct reservations are distinct from those made through Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) or other non-direct channels, which incur a higher fee of $2.00 per booking.
Understanding these costs is crucial for franchisees as they manage their operational expenses and assess the profitability of different booking channels. Franchisees should aim to optimize their booking strategies to maximize direct reservations and minimize reliance on higher-cost OTA channels, thereby improving their overall revenue and profitability.
