[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always get a better price through 3rd party, so I almost always book through them. Wait, actually, ONE time in 20+ years of travel booking did the hotel website have the best price. [/quote] Then you didn’t get the same room type as what’s on the direct channel. I work for a major hotel company with online travel agencies (otas). We have a dedicated team that watches our hotels prices and confirms that the OTAs are not undercutting the direct channel price, so as to be in compliance with their contract with us. Our hotels are 99% compliant. (Big local chain). The only reason these channels exist is for people who don’t know any better to comparison shop across multiple brands. Google can tell you the same thing. (But then, book direct) [/quote]
