FUNDIQI vs direct booking
| Criterion | Direct booking | FUNDIQI |
|---|---|---|
| Guest reach | Your existing hotel audience and channels. | An additional discovery channel for daytime experiences; demand is not guaranteed. |
| Marketing | You manage content, advertising, follow-up and their budgets. | No separate ad campaign is required to inquire; operations and commission are not free. |
| Costs | Guest acquisition, operations, cleaning and collection may cost money. | No subscription fees or prior commitment; commission is agreed before publication, alongside operating costs. |
| Price and availability | The hotel controls its inventory and terms and verifies reservations. | The hotel confirms details, price, availability and terms before the listing is published. |
| Overnight conflicts | Cleaning, turnaround buffers and capacity checks remain necessary. | Daytime bookings do not remove the need to separate resources and review availability. |
| Results | Vary with the hotel, demand and pricing. | A complementary channel, not a promise of 30% growth or a specific profit. |
30% additional revenue — an illustrative calculation
If baseline income is SAR 100,000 and incremental daytime income is SAR 30,000 in the same month, the total is SAR 130,000: a 30% uplift. This is not a customer result or guaranteed forecast, and revenue is not profit.
No separate marketing campaign is required to join, not zero total cost. Agreed commission, operations and cleaning still apply; direct booking remains valuable.
21,500 SAR / month
Illustrative model — not a measured average or guaranteed income
10 rooms × 20% daytime utilization × 25 days × SAR 150 agreed net = SAR 7,500. Facilities: 8 daily bookings × 25 days × SAR 70 = SAR 14,000. Total SAR 21,500 before variable operating costs.
Use the hotel’s agreed net amount per booking, not the guest price. The estimate is before variable costs, not net profit or a tax calculation; no commission rate is assumed. Separate existing income from genuinely incremental bookings.
Illustrative variable costs: 50 room bookings × SAR 30 + 200 facility bookings × SAR 20 = SAR 5,500. The remaining contribution is SAR 16,000 before other costs; not net profit.
