FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 25/04/2007
Online System for Haggling on Hotel Rates hits the 1 million!
www.RoomAuction.com
With holiday makers being more clued-up every day and the holiday season fast approaching, the online booking system offered by RoomAuction.com has hit a million of Pounds Sterling in the value of booking offers.
A few years back hardly any hotel guest knew that there were days when even the best establishments stay empty overnight and that many hotel managers would do a lot to fill their empty rooms. Now, almost 4 years since the RoomAuction.com’s launch, thousands of offers are sent to over 200 UK hotels who are receiving a lot of business where otherwise their rooms would stay empty making no profit at all.
The value of an average booking sent through the system is £140 which proves that despite the haggling, users still make reasonable offers and treat hoteliers seriously. Also the rates accepted by hotels for ‘slower nights’, with up to 70% off their regular price, make it very attractive for hotel guests.
Bob Drapella, managing director of RoomAuction.com, comments: “Since the very beginning our aim was to benefit all three parties: guests, hotels and ourselves. Adding a middleman does not always mean you need to pay more. Looking at our company’s results I can say we are in deed getting it right!”.
RoomAuction.com has more than 200 hotels signed up on an annual membership basis, with new ones joining constantly. No commission or other charges apply for listing accommodation and the membership fee is covered by Money Back Guarantee. A USA division has also been launched recently on www.RoomAuction.us, where American hotels and customers will also get a chance to enjoy the benefits of our “Auction” process.
