Recent data from Triptease highlights a stark reality: Hotels with the most competitive rates on metasearch platforms see a staggering +242% increase in Rev/Impr. This isn't just a trend; it's a wake-up call for all hoteliers. Being the cheapest option isn’t just about rates; it’s about influencing customer decisions, driving direct bookings, and lessening dependence on third-party platforms.
