Hotels rethink rate strategies
Consumers are no longer buying on impulse when it comes to booking travel and are willing to shop around more

- Even corporate travelers are now looking for a deal and how they can show their companies they are saving on cost;
- Hotels should use future pricing strategies and group bookings to build base, then optimize rates to blend in transient business.
