Read on for a recap of the webinar and the Q&A with participating hoteliers.
What is a metasearch?
Right off the bat, we took a moment to learn what exactly is this metasearch thing people are all talking about. In short, metasearch is a quick way to aggregate content from various sources across the Internet and present it all in one place.
