Hotel
Consolidators
|
| |
| Although consolidators
do take reservations for hotel rooms, they are more than just a traditional
travel agency or booking service. Consolidators negotiate advance
purchase agreements for rooms with various hotel properties and then
offer those rooms to their customers. Consolidators can often negotiate
for deeply discounted rates because they buy a large volume of rooms
and can provide a hotel with a consistent source of revenue. Their
advance purchase agreements for hotel rooms also mean that consolidators
are often able to provide accommodations when other resources list
properties as sold out. We have found a few sites that are worthy
of some comparison-shopping. Along with providing common results,
they can also offer you some truly unique deals and they don't waste
your time by making you sign up just to check prices. |
