Hotels and travel providers weigh the benefits of daily deal sites
Skift Take
U.S. hotels can look to Australia for examples of properties that have worked with flash sites and still maintained a certain integrity of their rates.
By definition, a group buying site or deal site is one that offers highly discounted deals by attracting a
minimum purchase threshold.
Last year, we saw a flurry of excitement over these types of sites, but this interest appears to have waned
in recent months along with a decline in consumer confidence levels.
