◎ Expedia.com.cn booking room teaching will follow along, making it easy to book hotels when traveling abroad!
Readers who often read Anya who love to travel will surely understand that hotels are one of the most important elements of travel for me. When ordering hotels, they will also make comparisons based on region, hotel attributes, price band, CP value, hotel location, etc. These online booking websites are actually good at each site. The location of the headquarters is also related to the good prices and profits of the local hotel groups. I hope that when we recommend these booking websites, everyone will still keep shopping around. With the accumulated flexibility of some travel experience, in the end, you still have to consider your travel habits to choose the best way!

I would like to see information about the Kyoto ITOYA hotel, which was newly opened in 2013.

▲ There is a "lowest price guarantee" text link below the Kyoto ITOYA hotel price.
This is a major feature of Expedia, which means that consumers book hotels on Expedia.com.tw.
If you find a lower public price than Expedia on other Taiwanese travel websites, Expedia promises to refund consumers double the difference.
▲ When you click on the hotel website, the Google map will pop up, and the attractions near the hotel will be summarized on the left.

◎ In peak travel season, the reservation website gives you the number of rooms; in the off-season, reservation website is a good tool for you to compare prices.
Again, taking the query of Kyoto ITOYA hotel in Kyoto as an example, I chose Kyoto ITOYA hotel during the off-season in May after cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto, and stayed in 2015/5/22~5/26. Generally, Expedia provided me with an average price for one night. NT3,299 (tax included), already very cost-effective!Checking other booking websites at the same time, hotel, and room type, except for the same group’s Hotel.com, which is literally 1 yuan cheaper on average, it is true that Expedia has obtained very favorable room rates for consumers.
Because I had the opportunity to work in the tourism industry a while ago, I learned a little bit about the operation of the ecosystem. As mentioned above, each international reservation website has different areas where it is good, and hotel groups will also take turns to conduct promotional activities on different websites, even Sometimes the official website is cheaper than the channel, so I don’t just use the "price" to look at the room reservation service. The price is applicable to the discounts available during the off-season. The website also contains open and transparent price information, so price comparison is not a problem. (But if the difference is within 1~2 yuan, I will decide to choose the service according to my needs, because the benefits of various website offers to members are different)
In the past six months, the Japanese currency exchange rate has continued to fall, and there are more and more friends traveling to Japan. If you want to see the beauty of the cherry blossoms in the April 2015 cherry blossom season, you must be quick, because Japanese hotels not only have soaring room prices, but the point is that you have Money does not necessarily mean that you can stay in a hotel with "convenient transportation." It is especially hard to find a hotel near Kyoto Station. At this time, when you use the booking website service, you must adopt the mentality of "snicker if you have a room", because there are Maybe you still want to compare prices, but the hotel is booked by someone else. Expedia has a lot of hotels, so you can start to find out which hotels are available in the cherry blossom season!
▲ This is the price of my simultaneous query on B booking network.
▲ The price shown by Hotel.com of the same group.
▲ Although the front desk shows that it is 1 yuan cheaper than Expedia, the total price is the same.
▲ This A reservation website is a website that I use very often. The price of one night is NT$3,251.
▲ The price including tax and service is higher, but as I said, the price is the operation of the hotel group for different channels and different periods.
◎ Expedia's travel app "Expedia Hotels & Flights", search for any destination anytime and anywhere, and schedule flight accommodation in real time!
I believe that everyone spends more and more time browsing the Internet on mobile phones and tablets, but there are fewer travel (service) websites that are really easy to use and smooth. Expedia has a website, as well as tablet and mobile apps. And design different user interfaces according to the characteristics of mobile vehicles. This makes me feel intimate as a network industry worker. They consider users from the usual online version to using various mobile devices on the road to seamlessly integrate with yours. Travel booking and itinerary management, so it also won the Google Play 11 best APP awards.
