Why is the hotel booked on 12306 cheaper than other software (Ctrip, Meituan, etc.)? )?

This question is easy to explain.

Because 12306 does not increase the price, the hotel will not charge any fees. Websites such as Ctrip and Qunar.com need to charge commissions to hotels.

12306 is the national railway, while Ctrip, Qunar.com and Meituan are all private network companies, so it can't be compared.

In addition, hotels above 12306 are convenient for passengers to travel by railway instead of making profits. Ctrip's initial intention is to let guests book hotels and charge fees for the survival of its own company.
