Distribution

Mayorista

A wholesaler or bedbank buys rooms at a net rate and resells them to agencies, tour operators and other OTAs worldwide. It gives reach into distant markets, but it is a classic source of disparity when those rates end up leaking into public channels below price. Hotelbeds is the best known example.

Example A net rate given to a wholesaler resurfaces on an Asian OTA 12 euros below the hotel's own site.
