2. Hotel-OTA relationship

Based on new data from RateGain, max. 1 out of 5 hotels in major EU cities

have introduced a rate parity based rate strategy for the coming three month.

We can conclude that in case of the great majority of hotels prices on OTA sites

were lower than on their own website. Popular destinations like Paris and

London, only a little more than 20% of three, four and five star hotels have a rate

parity strategy in place.

Amsterdam – the bad examplethe lowest rate parity adoption: 3% of hotels having a rate parity strategy in place,and 87% of hotels offering lower rates on OTAs than their own website.
