Why do hotels now rely on intermediary hotels such as Ctrip and E Long, which are so cheap that they don't lose money?

It won't lose money, and the price is not very low. Mainly to improve the hotel occupancy rate, although the price is expensive. In fact, the daily operating cost of the hotel is very high. If no one lives, it will cost so much money every day, and if someone lives, it will cost so much money. You can figure it out. How important it is to improve the occupancy rate!
