Frequently Asked Questions
What is rate parity?
Rate parity is the practice of maintaining the same room rate across all distribution channels, including your hotel website and third-party OTAs like Expedia or Booking.com.
Why does rate parity matter?
Many OTA contracts require rate parity clauses. Undercutting your own OTA rates on your direct site can violate these agreements and hurt channel relationships.
What causes rate parity issues?
Common causes include manual rate update delays, channel manager sync errors, or promotional discounts applied inconsistently across channels.
