Innovative New Website Lets Consumers Negotiate Hotel Prices

Nov. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Cork, Ireland - Ronan Carr, an entrepreneur in Cork, Ireland announced this week the launch of his newest venture, HotelHaggle.com. Carr is also known for two previous successful travel site ventures, including a booking site for Ireland’s Park Hotel chain.

HotelHaggle.com reinvents the
hotel search and booking process for its users. It offers consumers and businesses a unique value proposition perfect for both the current economic climate and what are sure to be the fiscally savvier years ahead. Rather than putting the burden of finding a hotel bargain squarely on the shoulders of the consumer, HotelHaggle creates a collaborative approach to finding the best deal. The site’s power lies in its database of over 120,000 participating hotels worldwide. Users create a secure account, log in, input the details of their travel itinerary and the price they are willing to pay for lodging. HotelHaggle’s software filters the results, contacts the appropriate hotels and then puts the user’s business up for ‘bid.’ The resulting list of
hotels that meet the location, schedule and price parameters is supplied back to the user for final decision and online booking.

Typical travel and lodging sites present results of fixed-price hotels that users must sift through to find the right fit. Online prices vs. phone reservation prices and special discounts only serve to make the whole process unnecessarily complex and time-consuming. Previous attempts by various sites over the years to create similar customer-focused models have typically restricted a user’s choice of travel dates or required travel within certain rigid or ‘last-minute’ parameters. HotelHaggle.com’s value lies in the consumer-driven travel itinerary and the consumer-tailored results.

With families and businesses across the globe more focused on saving money, the lost art of negotiation is enjoying a renaissance. While some consumers may not have the fortitude to negotiate on price face-to-face, HotelHaggle offers a safe environment for confrontation-free bargaining and puts the customer back in the driver’s seat. Hotels in turn, enjoy a broader reach, receive valuable insight on consumer priorities and can book unsold rooms at an acceptable rate. With budget-priced family hotels as well as five-star luxury facilities, HotelHaggle’s database offers a wide range of choices – all powered by negotiation.

HotelHaggle.com will focus solely on hotels in the beginning, but will soon expand to include B&B listings, vacation rentals and timeshares. Look for a growth-oriented site designed to meet all of your personal and business travel needs.
