Just anecdata from the other side (i was a hotel manager for the last 7 years): BDC has nigh-unbeatably good SEO, you can't beat it even with e.g. searching for "[hotel name] in [city]", 99% of the time. The other 1% is Expedia in the search results :D

A note on alternatives - loads of former competitors have been bought by either BDC or EXP, i.e. hotels.com is just Expedia, kayak or priceline are BDC, etc.

Btw you should probably define such a non standard abbreviation such as “BDC” the first time you use it
