Compare the Hotel rate with the Portal and Local Agent: Today is the time of Internet and it’s becoming powerful each day passing. The list and the rate of the hotels of any destination are just a few clicks away. Log in to any hotel booking portals and you can get a list of hotels with very attractive rates. These rates look very tempting but comparing the rates won’t harm anyone. Our recommendation to consider the orthodox way of reserving the hotel for your forthcoming trip to India i.e. compare the Hotel rates with a Local Travel Agent in India.

How Hotel Booking Portal Works: Hotel booking portal ask the Hotel people to dedicate some rooms to their portal with an agreed rates and the portal flash the rooms and their rates. Suppose you are trying to book two rooms in Jaipur for particular dates and on the same dates, a conference of Doctors is organized in Jaipur. Due to this, the hotels start getting full. In this condition, the Hotel booking portal will increase the rates of hotels that they are selling online to their portal.

Rates by a Local agent of India: The local travel agent based in India always have very competitive rates for the hotels of their destination. When you compare the rates of a portal and a travel agent you will rely on that the travel agent will give you a set rate of a hotel and he will stick to the rate until the time that particular hotel has vacant rooms. On the other hand, the rates of the hotel booking portal may fluctuate depending on the occupancy of the hotel.

The biggest reason for not changing the rate of the hotel is due to efforts that travel agents make to get the rate for the different hotel in the starting of the season. Once they (Hotel and the travel agent) have the mutually decided rate for a season they start using these rates to their designed packages.

So the Local agent always have very stable rates and most of the time it’s cheaper

Check the hotel rates to the directly with the hotel: It’s always a good practice to compare the rates with the hotel directly. Chances are there that you will get a good rate of a better room or a room with a better view in the same rate that you are paying to a hotel booking portal or a local Travel agent.

Choose to Travel during Indian Festivals: Try to choose the travel dates around the big Indian festivals like Diwali. It’s human nature that a person wants and tries to be with their family during the Festival season. Indian People also try to be at home especially during the Diwali (Biggest festival in India). It’s more or less a week when the hotel’s rates are less in most of the cities in India on the Travel portals. Due to this the hotel people sell the rooms of cheaper rates and offer better benefits.
