Is there any way to save money by booking a hotel on holidays?

As we all know, holidays are the peak time for traveling. At this time, the prices of hotels are mostly outrageous, but in fact, you can still save money to book hotels. Tuanzi will share with you some money-saving strategies for booking hotels on holidays.

1. Book the hotel in advance

On the holiday day, even two or three weeks in advance, the price of the hotel is already much more expensive, so it is necessary to book the hotel in advance.

You can enjoy the early bird discount if you book a hotel in advance. The earlier you book, the more rooms you can choose and the more beautiful the price will be.

Tuanzi has tried to book hotels in advance many times, and the summarized experience is that it is best to book them about one month in advance. At this time, the price of hotels has not started to rise much, there are still many room types, and there are fewer people who book them.

Many people don't start booking until the holidays. At this time, there are not many choices for booking again. Therefore, the price of hotels has generally gone up one or two weeks before the holidays. If we want to enjoy lower prices, we have to book in advance.

2. Compare the prices of various platforms

Everyone uses the platform to book hotels. It is impossible to go to the tourist place to find the front desk to book in advance because we travel on holidays.

But there are many platforms and the prices are different, so we need to compare the prices of each platform. Well-known platforms include Ctrip, Tongcheng, Flying Pig, Meituan, where to travel, etc. There are many platforms, and the price of hotels on each platform may be different. Therefore, we need to compare the prices among several platforms we commonly use, and choose the cheapest one to book.

Tuanzi specially compared the prices of various platforms on May Day and National Day. If there are no additional preferential activities on the platform, the price of Meituan is generally the most expensive, followed by Tongcheng and Ctrip, and the cheapest price almost only appears in flying pigs and where to travel, so Tuanzi suggested that everyone should pay extra attention to the prices on these two platforms.

3. There are many channels to find special offers

This method, such as the hotel's WeChat official account, Alipay applet, the hotel's official website and so on.

every hotel usually offers special discounts and promotions, such as discounts, package discounts, member discounts, student specials and so on. These need to be paid more attention to in all channels of the hotel, otherwise it will be easy to miss.

Tuanzi once noticed the promotional activities of Hilton Hotel in official website by chance. At that time, it was just the National Day holiday, and the price of booking a hotel in official website was much cheaper than that of the platform. However, Tuanzi missed the opportunity because he didn't have a travel plan at that time. You can pay attention to this kind of discount on holidays.

4. Choose the right hotel location

Hotel location is also an important reason that affects hotel prices. Generally, hotels near scenic spots and hotels in the city center will have high prices.

if you have convenient transportation, you can choose hotels that are slightly away from busy areas or suburban hotels. The prices of these hotels are much cheaper than those in downtown and scenic spots. Although the prices will increase, the prices will be more reasonable.

most group members will choose these hotels for self-driving travel, because they are self-driving, unlike high-speed trains or airplanes, and they need to book tickets. Because there is plenty of time, group members will choose hotels near the suburbs, which are cheaper, have fewer people than downtown, and have many room types to choose from.

5. discounts for hotel members

members of hotel chain groups can get discounts and extra discounts at any time.

Tuanzi still recommends that you apply for a hotel membership, so that you can enjoy the benefits and discounts that others don't have at any time, which may not be needed at ordinary times, but the role of membership is very obvious on holidays. Compared with other people who are struggling to book hotels, those who have members can book in advance and enjoy special benefits, which makes their travel easier.

Tuanzi himself knows that some rooms in many hotels are actually only open to members on holidays. Even if these rooms are empty, they are generally not open to non-members, only on holidays. This is also to facilitate hotel members to have rooms in their hotels at any time.

So if there are hotel members, it will not only be convenient to book hotels on holidays, but also the price will be much cheaper than that of non-members.

These are the tips for saving money when booking hotels on holidays. They are all tips that Tuanzi has summed up through many holidays. Now I share them with you, hoping to help more people save money when booking hotels on holidays.
