Why is it cheaper to book a hotel on Taobao than on a professional website?

Some Taobao shops are run by hotel staff. Similar to direct sales, hotels will also entrust professional networks for marketing, but then professional networks will charge service fees, which will be included in your room rate.

Instead of the hotel's own store on Taobao, they also want to do marketing for the hotel. Perhaps their service cost will be lower than that of the professional network, so the service fee charged may be lower.

But be careful, be careful to identify on Taobao, and don't meet scammers.
