酒店選擇營銷渠道模式還需要有優(yōu)秀的渠道成員，酒店營銷渠道的管理與控制
酒店如果選擇并確定了間接營銷渠道的模式，還需選擇優(yōu)秀的渠道成員，才能成功地利用中間渠道開展相應的營銷活動。渠道成員可能是個人、組織或者企業(yè)單位，對酒店而言統(tǒng)稱為客戶。由于酒店中間商數(shù)量眾多，規(guī)模、實力、經(jīng)營特點都有所不同，所以，酒店務必仔細了解未來中間商的相關信息（如行業(yè)背景、信用情況、資金、業(yè)務技術、經(jīng)營水準等），進行綜合評價：
（1）中間商的銷售能力。中間商的營銷經(jīng)驗和能力與市場反饋搜集對酒店產(chǎn)品的銷售影響很大，建議選擇最接近酒店目標顧客的中間商。一個優(yōu)秀中間商能利用有效的營銷手段管理顧客購買，且擁有成熟的銷售網(wǎng)絡，不僅便于顧客購買，還能及時向酒店反饋最新的市場信息，如客人偏好流向、旅游發(fā)展趨勢等，為酒店制訂正確的營銷策略提供更有效的依據(jù)。
（2）該中間商的經(jīng)營范圍與形象是否與本酒店目標一致。未來的中間商應有本
酒店VI設計產(chǎn)品的市場，或者非常愿意去開拓此類目標市場。如本酒店目標是東南亞旅游市場，則選擇以經(jīng)營東南亞旅游團為主的旅行社較為理想。另外，如果酒店追求高質(zhì)量、高品位、奢華高檔的形象，選擇中間商時也應仔細 別，以免達不到預期的銷售效果，卻適得其反。
（3）中間商的經(jīng)營實力和誠信度。中間商的經(jīng)營規(guī)模、財務調(diào)度能力好壞、誠信狀況是否良好都是酒店必須考慮的內(nèi)容。通過其經(jīng)營規(guī)?？梢灶A測它能為本酒店帶來多少預訂量和銷售額；其財務狀況可以反映它抗風險能力，財務狀況不好，一旦出現(xiàn)問題會影響酒店的正常經(jīng)營；中間商的誠信也十分重要，過去，國內(nèi)有的酒店由于不了解國外旅游代理商的信譽情況，使得大量賬款付之東流。對于直接委托境外旅游中間商代理銷售的酒店，尤其應該重視這個問題，最好通過我國駐外使館或其他機構進行調(diào)查，這才是良好合作的重要基礎。
盡管有這么多原則需要幾近苛刻地選擇，但有時決定權并不一定掌握在酒店手中，旅游中間商同最終顧客一樣擁有選擇權，尤其是那些規(guī)模大、實力強、信譽好的旅游中間商。
選定旅游中間商開展代理銷售業(yè)務過程中，還應加強日常的渠道管理與控制，以促進有好和諧的合作關系，減少渠道摩擦與沖突，取得相對理想的營銷效果。
