The Problem with Online Travel Agents
The conflict between hotels and online travel agencies that sell their rooms is in full swing, and it will only get more ferocious.
While there may always be a place for the traditional shop front Travel Agent, where customers can get personalised and hopefully friendly service, there should be no need for online middlemen.
Guests, by using these mega OTAs like Expedia, Price Line Group and Trip Advisor, are depriving hotels of millions of dollars in revenue and should be encouraged to book directly with hotels.
It's time for hotels to stand up and realise that the huge yearly commissions they fork out to these OTAs would be better spent on promoting direct sales.
It's easier than many think.

DENTAL TRAVEL
|
Investigation into the outrageous costs of dental treatment in Switzerland, Germany and the UK.
This book asks how dentists in these countries can justify their charges and why dentists who are similarly trained, sometimes at the same medical facilities, can do the same service abroad for a fraction of the cost. Is it enough to say the cost of living is higher in Switzerland, Germany or the UK? I don't think so! This book will look at cost comparisons abroad, in particular Hungary and investigate the clinics to explain why so many people chose to go abroad for their treatment and what they can expect. |
