m →‎Hotel Reservations : non-committal reservations as the norm: risk and price
Ligne 886 :
The standard rates with the highest commission payments are U.S. government rates, which usually have a negotiated commission of 12%, of course commission can be individually negotiated with hotels where that is desirable and booking volume allows negotiated rates.
More usual commission payments are in the range of eight percent to ten percent, but rate plans without any commission do also exist; travel agents can add their own fee for the customer when selling such rates.
[[w:de:Hotel_Reservation_Service|HRS]] and some other offerers offer customers non-committal reservations as the norm.
Because the hotel does not know whether a room will be occupied or the house will be full with this reservation type one could use a special rate plan here that compensates the risk via the price.
The distinction between rate plans that can only be used for binding or non-binding bookings exists but a systematic compensation for the risk via the price is not generally made in the hotel industry.
 
There is also a market for selling hotel reservations through web portals of third parties; some airlines and railway companies, for instance, are good customers of hotel reservation providers.
