Direct bookings

A practical referral process for accommodation

Marbella Hospitality · Prepared · Practical note

A referral process works when the person making the introduction knows whom the property suits. Give partners clear product facts and a simple enquiry route.

A practical approach

  1. Define the target guest and suitable stay types.
  2. Provide a short, current property summary.
  3. Agree how referrals are recorded and any compensation handled.

An example to consider

A local relocation adviser may bring longer stays, while an event organiser may need a group booking. Give each partner information relevant to that use.

What to track

Track qualified referrals, conversion and agreed referral costs.
