Online travel bookings have become the standard. To find the cheapest hotels is important, therefore it is vital to compare different offers on the internet. According to a data base summary from trivago.com, the prices differ on average around 23%. A difference of €100 is not a rarity for the same room per night. A current study from the Danish Centre for regions and tourism research states that the Europe wide turnover with online hotel reservations 2006 is 6.1 billion Euros. About 34% or 2 billion from that went to the UK market. The British holiday makers give away roughly 477 million Euros yearly through the price differences between agents.
To find the cheapest up to date offers you had to check all online agents yourself. As a solution to this, trivago.com uses its meta price comparison for hotels to bring transparency into a ‘jungle of costs’.
The innovation of the trivago technology is that you can see in an instant which agent offers which price for the sought after hotel. The users see immediately what they can save with which agent, and even those who like to book directly with a hotel should check with trivago first: most agents have better prices than the hotel itself.
