So how do you know you get the best deal on a hotelroom?
Easy,while shopping around on the web, you will find various providers for hotelrooms.Or maybe you browse through the brochures of a travelagent.
Once you found a hotel of your liking, it is easy to book online or let the travelagent handle it.
Now here is the trick, donnot book there!
Travelagents charge the hotel up to 25% of the sales, internet providers usually up to 15%.
For a hotel, that is a lot of money, so they are forced to raise the price of the rooms they offer through the provider/agent.
In the meantime, because there is no commissionfee involved, they keep the prices on their own website low, hoping to atract more guests there, avoiding having to pay the commissions.
So if you know the name of the hotel, search on the internet for their own website and compare, then book there.
If they do not have their own website, call them yourself, you get guaranteed the lowest price.
Part of the pleasure of organising a vacation is getting to know where you stay and on a hotels website you usually find more information and pictures, and in the meantime you save a lot of money too!
