Reduce OTA Cost
My name is Mohit Swami, and I go by Dusty Compass. I've been traveling India β not as a tourist, but as a storyteller with a camera and a growth mindset. Every chai stop, every mountain check-in, every hidden heritage haveli has taught me something about what makes a place worth staying at.
I travel India, create premium visual content, and help hotels grow their bookings β all at the same time. I've worked with everything from boutique mountain homestays in Himachal to heritage properties in Rajasthan, delivering measurable results that last long after I check out.
Most hotels have an incredible story to tell. They just don't know how to tell it β or they can't afford a full-time marketing team. That's exactly the gap I fill. I show up, I create, I optimize, and I leave your hotel better found, better seen, and better booked.
We make growing your hotel simple, strategic, and results-driven β from Day 1 to full-scale growth.
We audit your current social media, OTA presence, website, and booking process. Identify exactly where you're losing money and guests.
Based on your hotel type, location, and goals β we build a tailored 90-day growth plan with clear targets and deliverables.
We handle everything β content creation, posting, automation setup, website work, GMB, and ads. You focus on running your hotel.

Real results from real hotel owners who chose Dusty Compass to grow their properties.
Before Dusty Compass, 80% of our bookings came through MakeMyTrip. Within 3 months of working with Mohit, we had a working WhatsApp funnel, 5 Reels going out every week, and our direct bookings jumped to nearly 40% of total revenue. The ROI was clear within the first month.
Mohit rebuilt our Instagram from scratch. We went from 800 followers who never booked to a page that generates 15-20 genuine enquiries every week. The Reels he creates actually show our property in its best light β guests arrive saying they found us on Instagram. That's real business.
We were paying almost βΉ4 lakhs a month in OTA commissions. After Mohit built our direct booking system and website, that number dropped by 60% in 4 months. The Scale plan is expensive but it paid for itself three times over in the first quarter.

Common questions from hotel owners about growing direct bookings, social media, and reducing OTA dependency in India.
Most hotels see meaningful improvements in social media engagement within the first 30 days. Direct booking enquiries typically start increasing in month 2 as your funnel and SEO kick in. By month 3, most of our clients are seeing measurable OTA commission savings and steady direct booking growth.
We work primarily with boutique properties (10β80 rooms) and mid-scale hotels across India β hill stations, heritage properties, city hotels, and resort properties. We don't work with large chains (they have internal teams) or budget lodges where the margin doesn't support the investment.
Most of our clients see a 30β60% reduction in OTA-sourced bookings over 6 months, which means a direct saving of that percentage of your current OTA commission cost. A hotel paying βΉ3L/month in commissions can realistically save βΉ1β2L/month. The Growth and Scale plans are specifically built to maximise this outcome.
No lock-in contracts. We work on a monthly basis. That said, hotel digital growth is a compounding process β the longer we work together, the better the results. Most clients who start seeing results in month 2-3 naturally continue. We earn your renewal every month.
After you sign up: Week 1 is a complete audit of your current online presence and a 60-minute strategy call with Mohit. Week 2 is setup β WhatsApp funnel, content calendar, system configuration.
