Ecotourism & Conversion Strategy

Recognizing the hotel's prime location near attractions like the Chelgerd Ski Resort, the core objective was to turn these into bookable services and increase the conversion rate of accommodation packages.

  • **Strategic Content SEO:** Created dedicated, SEO-optimized landing pages to capture high-intent regional search traffic for local attractions (e.g., Dimeh Spring and Ice Cave).
  • **Tour Booking Integration:** Embedded the hotel's "Half-Day Tours" booking module into the main reservation process to maximize ancillary service sales.
  • **Visual Strategy:** Used high-quality images (photographed by me) to create a sense of luxury travel, thereby strengthening the hotel's brand identity and visual appeal.

**Impact:** Significantly increased organic visibility for local tourism keywords and maximized upsell opportunities through accommodation/tour packages.
