Daily Hotel Price Movement Dashboard (Sample Data)

Executive Summary

Hotel pricing changes several times a day across OTAs like Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, Hotels.com and MakeMyTrip. These changes depend on occupancy, demand patterns, booking windows, special events and even time of day. Hotels and travel platforms need timely insights to understand daily rate fluctuations, optimize revenue strategies and maintain OTA parity.

Actowiz Solutions built a comprehensive Daily Hotel Price Movement Dashboard powered by real-time hotel rate extraction. The dashboard captures:

• Room price changes
• Time-of-day rate shifts
• OTA-level differences
• Availability movement
• Rate-plan variations
• Multi-night pricing
• Surge windows
• Event-driven volatility

This case study demonstrates how Actowiz Solutions delivered precise daily hotel rate intelligence across major cities and hotel categories.

Background

The hospitality industry relies on dynamic pricing. A hotel room can change price:

• 10–25 times a day
• Across multiple OTAs
• Based on occupancy shifts
• Due to cancellations
• During peak hours
• Around local events or weekends

Hotels rarely have access to cross-OTA daily rate movement data.

Travel companies also struggle with:

• Identifying best booking times
• Monitoring OTA undercutting
• Tracking competitor price shifts
• Understanding time-of-day patterns
• Recognising event-triggered volatility

Actowiz Solutions created a real-time hotel pricing dashboard to solve this problem.
