Problem w the OTAs, cost of sale aside, they don't allow their suppliers to differentiate their products. They do this to, as a supplier, pack you into a padded cage and fight it out with your fellow hoteliers / str's to increase 'sponsored' offers. How about meaningful Attribute Based Shopping, videos in listings and many other customizable opportunities packaged with marketplace data at the ready.

4moChris Moss Interestingly enough I had a short conversation with Booking.com's CTO Rob Francis about their check-out pages showing those miles-and-miles-long offerings, and why they would not simply apply an attribute-based system here. His answer was an interesting one "Well, its not something travelers have told us about to be an issue..." I am guilty for also having worked on an attribute-based data lodging model for rates/rooms, detailing it in all beauty on where the touch points would be... But maybe we all have to see that at the end of the day this is more of a vanity project for "us" travel people than a real world problem for travelers? Chris Moss what do you think?
