Why is it cheaper to book a hotel for the same trip?

There are several reasons why hotels booked on the same itinerary are cheap:

1. Low channel cost: As an online travel platform, Tongcheng Tourism has lower operating cost compared with traditional hotel sales channels, so it can be reflected in the price.

2. Economies of scale: One-way travel has economies of scale, and you can sign a large purchase agreement with the hotel, thus obtaining lower purchase costs.

3. Price competition: The online travel platform market is highly competitive, so it is necessary to provide more favorable prices to attract consumers and increase market share.

4. Preferential activities: The same trip will regularly carry out various preferential activities, such as issuing coupons and launching special packages to attract more consumers.

5. Membership system: One-way travel membership system will also provide preferential treatment for consumers. The higher the level, the greater the preferential treatment enjoyed by members.

It should be noted that although the price of the hotel booked by Tongcheng is relatively low, there is no guarantee that its service quality will be reduced. Consumers should read the evaluation and rating carefully before booking to understand the specific situation of the hotel to ensure the expected value.
