Jaipur — Pink City, Rajasthan ka tourism capital — mein 2,500+ hotels, 500+ travel agencies aur countless homestays hain. Tourism season mein bookings flood karte hain — Goibibo, MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, Airbnb, direct walk-ins, phone calls. Manage karna nightmare hai.
Generic booking software (Cloudbeds, eZee) decent hai but Jaipur-specific needs handle nahi karte — seasonal pricing (Dec-Feb peak, Jun-Aug off), wedding season packages, group tour rates, multi-property chains.

- Group tour handling: 30-50 rooms ek saath, special pricing
- Wedding season: Banquet + rooms combined packages

OTA Integration Cost (Critical for Jaipur)
| Channel | Commission | Booking Volume |
|---|---|---|
| MakeMyTrip/Goibibo | 18-22% | High (30-40%) |
| Booking.com | 15-18% | Medium (20-25%) |
| Airbnb | 3-5% (host) | Growing (10-15%) |
| Agoda | 15-20% | International (10%) |
