OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Anyone know what B.com mean ...

Post by Frenchlady »

A few weeks ago I received this from B.com - anyone know what they actually mean. I suspect it means that you can now advertise your property on any website at any price, but may be wrong. France took them to court and stopped them doing this several years ago and as I am reading it the rest of the EU have done the same. Correct me please if I am wrong:

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve transparency, alignment and communication, we’re globally updating our General Delivery Terms (GDT). Here’s an overview of what we have done.

Remove the Bidding Restrictions from our agreement with you. This means that you are free to bid on Booking.com via online search engines if you wish to, which is in line with the recent EU-ruling on this topic. The removal will apply to all accommodations.

Some guests just need a sympathetic pat. On the head. With a hammer.
