▲ The coolest travel proposal "Expedia is very free to play-25 years of traveling around the world for free"!
◎ Expedia will follow the instructions of booking a room on Expedia, making it easy to book a hotel when traveling abroad!
Readers who often read Anya who love to travel will surely understand that the hotel is one of the most important elements of travel for me. When ordering a hotel, I will make more comparisons based on the 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 ability of the local hotel group to get good prices and profits. I hope that when we recommend these booking websites, everyone should maintain the price check of the three. With the accumulated flexibility of some travel experience, in the end, you still have to consider your travel habits to choose the best way!
Step1. Click on the URL to go to Expedia >> http://www.expedia.com.tw/
Please register as a member and receive a 1,000 yuan discount voucher for the opening ceremony.
▲ At the top left of the page, you can fill in the hotel area, number of people, check-in time, etc., and then search.
You can also find the tourist city you plan to visit at the bottom of the page, and quickly enter the hotel list page.
Step2. After selecting the check-in time, check-out time, the number of rooms, and the number of people, click "Search".
Step3. Find a hotel that meets the budget from the search results.
▲ 以我為例，2015/5/22~5/26、四晚雙人房，Expedia幫我找到309間京都飯店。
I would like to see information about the Kyoto ITOYA hotel, which was newly opened in 2013.
Step.4 Enter the information page of Kyoto ITOYA hotel.
▲ The page will contain the price, location, evaluation, hardware equipment, etc. of each room type you want to know about the hotel.
▲ All photos on the page can be clicked directly to zoom in to see the actual photos.
▲ Under the Kyoto ITOYA hotel price, there is a text link "lowest price guarantee".
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 website of the hotel, the Google map will pop up, and the attractions near the hotel will be summarized on the left.
▲ Expedia also provides a member review mechanism, and I can see the advantages and disadvantages of 7 guest reviews of hotels.
▲ Expedia even connects with TripAdvisor. You can read 114 reviews about Kyoto ITOYA hotel.
▲Finally, at the bottom of the hotel information page is a complete description of facilities and services, including the most important...Does it provide free wireless Internet access?
▲ The "i" next to the price can show the price of four consecutive nights, so NT$3,299 is the average value of four nights.
After confirming that there is no problem with the room rate, click "Book" to proceed to the next step.
Step5. To book a hotel, you need to fill in the passenger information field, payment information and Email contact in order.
After filling in, click "Complete Booking".
▲ After sending it, you will be brought to the confirmation page, including the reservation code, etc. The operation process is similar to that of other websites.
◎ In peak tourist seasons, the booking website gives you the number of rooms; in the off-peak tourist season, the booking website is a good tool for you to compare prices and check 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!Check other booking websites at the same time, hotel, and room type. Except for the same group’s Hotel.com, which is just 1 yuan cheaper on average, Expedia has indeed obtained very favorable 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 have to be quick, because Japanese hotels not only have high prices, but the point is Money does not necessarily mean that you can stay in a "conveniently accessible" hotel. It is especially hard to find a hotel near Kyoto Station. At this time, when you use the reservation website service, you should adopt the mentality of "snicker if you have a room." Maybe you still want to compare prices, but the restaurant is booked by others. Expedia has a large number of hotels, so you can start to find out which hotels are available during the cherry blossom season!
▲ This is the price of my synchronous query on B reservation 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 instantly schedule flight accommodations!
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 smoothly move. 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 close as a worker in the Internet industry. They consider the user to be seamless from the usual online version to the use of various mobile devices on the road. It integrates your travel booking and itinerary management, so it has also won the award of the 11 best apps on Google Play.
