Hi
We like to know how hotel booking system works.
How consolidators like GTA, GDS, EXPEDIA bargain with hotel people for rates.
Do they sign contract with hotel for not providing same rates to their competitors.
Do they work on commission model or nett rate model ?
Do they pre purchase rooms for them for entire year or x no of booking guarantee.
Example: Let say we approach few hotels which are not online till now. we tell them to promote their hotel and provide them exposure online but we need guarantee that they will not provide same rates to others ? is this possible.
Will be thankful if someone can give light on above question ?
Cheers
