Price Transparency, rate parity and best rate guarantee Issues

Bookmark and Share



In contrast to the hotel industry of the past travelers did not have access to pricing information unless they used a travel agent or call the hotel directly.

In a market with transparent pricing, the prices of all hotels are now openly advertised all over the internet. Consumers use travel search engine such as Kayak, Expedia, Orbitz to search and find hundreds of travel sites from all over the world to receive an easy-to-use display of hotel rates which can be classified by price, star rating, traveler opinion, location and more.

As the booking window becomes shorter and shorter, how are the hotels handling the increased “commoditization” of the hotel business, especially in the current rate parity and best rate guarantee requirements?
