Metasearch engines are to hotels like Amazon is to eBooks: they are both vertical search engines. Vertical search engines focus on a specific sector

Tripadvisor is the first big, relevant and global player in the online travel industry that dares to charge the user as its main revenue stream

Google Hotel Ads allow you to be right up there (with your best rate!) beside the OTAs when someone initially Google searches for your hotel
