Strategic Pitch Deck: Quantum Horizon Digital Services for Scottish Hotels & B&Bs
Transforming Heritage Hospitality into Digital Revenue Champions
The Crisis: Scottish Hotels & B&Bs Are Missing £Millions in Revenue
Scotland's hotels achieved £991 million in visitor expenditure with 89.02% occupancy rates in May 2024 - yet most individual properties lack professional digital presence to capture their fair share of this booming market.
OTA Commission Trap
15-25% of every booking lost to platforms - average hotel loses £2,450+ annually on £24,500 revenue
Conversion Crisis
Average hotel website converts only 1.5-2.5% whilst digital leaders achieve 8-11% conversion
Booking Window Miss
70% of international visitors research destinations 3-4 months in advance - poor online presence loses these premium bookings
Premium Pricing Lost
Edinburgh ADR rose to £183.38 but digitally invisible properties miss these opportunities
Meanwhile, professionally marketed properties dominate direct bookings and eliminate OTA dependency entirely.
