Scaling Direct Bookings by +280% and Dominating Luxury Hospitality Search in Kerala
The Client & Market Position
Morickap Resort is an ultra-luxury eco-resort perched atop the scenic hills of Wayanad, Kerala. Offering Swiss chalets, private plunge pool villas, and panoramic valley views, the resort targets affluent families, honeymooners, and premium corporate retreats from Bangalore, Calicut, Kochi, and GCC NRI travelers.
Bottlenecks & Market Invisibility
The resort was heavily dependent on Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Booking.com and MakeMyTrip, sacrificing 18% to 22% in hefty commission fees on every reservation. Furthermore, despite exceptional 5-star physical guest experiences, organic website rankings were lagging behind older Wayanad properties on Google search.
