TRENDS| TECH| Saving Hotels the Trouble of ‘Calling Around’

Here is something that I think is encouraging, but I want to put it to test with you. I think the premise is good.

Create a website where all hotels can upload their availability online and other hoteliers can check. You can then, theoretically decide your hotel rates based on what is happening in the neighborhood.

Yes, in theory it is a cost effective way of sharing information (something like creating a google doc for ARR & ROOM OCCUPIED that Night duty Managers share with each other and sharing the damn document instead of everyone calling everyone.

But here are my misgivings:
> why would you put the truth on the website?
> Why cant you just log into travelocity or GDS for the updated room status & rates?

What do you think?
