OTA Contract Rate and Merchant Model Programs give you preferred placement on major Online Travel Agencies
Online Travel Agents (OTAs) including Hotwire, Priceline, Orbitz, hotels.com, etc. offer participation in OTA Contract Rate programs. These programs, also referred to as “net rate” programs, are direct contracts between your property and an OTA that enable the OTA to act as the ‘merchant’ to the traveler. They give your property preferred placement, including additional marketing information, and more images. Contract Rate programs can be a strong source of bookings.
