TripAdvisor shows from January 2010 direct hotel booking facilities - for cash

TripAdvisor will have the option to pay a flat-fee annual subscription for business listings and TripAdvisor wants to be able to display their properties' URL, telephone number and e-mail address.

The fees start at 600 USD in the year for mini-hotels. At 50 to 100 rooms, there are already $ 3,000, 100 to 250 rooms = $ 6,000. The balance will be difficult for some hotels, whether the additional revenue through direct import these fees again. Few hotels will know whether their customers have come OTA on the TripAdvisor site.
