How to find the best value Caribbean vacation

by hotelsetc, posted in travel discounts, vacations

Caribbean vacations are the way to go and while this is not just because they are often the most affordable destinations, price always matters. In this sense, you can usually be sure that a Caribbean vacation will cost less than somewhere further away such as the Maldives or Bali, but what if you could find a vacation deal with an extra 50 – 70% off? And these are very real offers, not just click bait or promotional deals which require hidden extras.

Firstly, why choose a Caribbean vacation

Endless stretches of white powdered sand and five star all-inclusive resorts, incredible weather, fine food and interesting activities? There is rarely any question in terms of why you should choose a Caribbean vacation and where you decide upon exactly will usually come down to the cost.

Mexico is usually the most affordable option given the huge amount of competition for customers in this part of the world but you can also find excellent vacation deals in more isolated destinations such as Aruba or even the Dominican. Infused with cheap food and value-driven day tours, most parts of the Caribbean have enough things to do outside of relaxing on the beach and when you consider the amount of money you can save on these vacations, the extra spending money will most often ensure a more memorable adventure.

How to find the best value Caribbean vacation

They say that value is relative and while this is mostly true, let us assume you want an excellent resort and destination at the lowest possible price. In most instances, the lowest price will likely mean a low quality product or service, maybe even a defect of some kind, but when it comes to booking vacations through a travel membership club, you can be sure there is rarely any disadvantage to choosing the lowest priced anything.

Of course, you must also ensure to pick the right resort to meet your own particular expectations but as a rule, if you choose a 4 star resort for an extremely low cost, the experience should still reflect a memorable 4 star experience. Harboring 4 million members and a solid reputation throughout the travel industry, Hotels Etc is one such “Closed User Group” which is currently providing their members with the best vacation discounts anywhere online.

In fact, a recent law (Law of Rate Parity) which has restricted traditional booking engines from offering their customers discounted prices has ensured these memberships status as the best value-for-money service in the current travel industry. Experts with negotiating and online relations, Hotels Etc is essentially a private booking engine which secures huge discounts directly with hotels in the Caribbean and relays this value back to their millions of subscribers.

Sound simple? It really is.

It is all about the Closed User Group

As outlined previously, Hotels Etc is known as a Closed User Group which means it is exempt from the laws which currently restrict the travel industry. Simply put, this exemption allows for them to provide vacation discounts for the Caribbean that you cannot find anywhere else.

You pay less with a Vacation travel club

by hotelsetc, posted in travel club

It really is simple. Most consumers will scour traditional booking engines in search of the best vacation deal or special offer in order to afford their next break but recent laws have ensured such “offers” are no longer available through the same channels. Today the only genuine way to find discounts for travel are through closed user groups and the best way to reduce the cost of your next vacation even further is to join an affordable travel club.

That is, a recently introduced law called rate parity has meant that Expedia, Orbits etc. are no longer permitted to offer the discounts they once did in the past. Stipulating that travel brands must advertise the same cost across all channels of distribution, this new law has greatly damaged the value on offer from booking engines and in effect, removed any real reason to use them at all. Although this does not apply to closed user groups.

But wait, what is a closed user group?

Closed user groups were first introduced by telecom companies as a means for their customers to access cheap calls with each other. Many businesses were able to replicate this arrangement in a similar fashion including travel clubs who began offering their members huge discounts on a full range of travel services.

Interestingly, rate parity laws do not apply to closed user groups and so these travel clubs were enabled to offer their members travel discounts which were otherwise impossible to find.

Finding affordable vacations with an affordable Vacation travel club

You may be wondering how this process works exactly but honesty, there is so little to understand. In many ways, the process with a travel club is little different to that of a conventional booking engine. In fact, the booking engine is central to the process as this is the convenient, fast and user friendly method in which you will find the deal.

What you do not see during this process is the behind the scenes efforts in which the vacation travel club will negotiate the amazing deals at your fingertips but don’t worry about any of that, after all, this is exactly why you pay a small membership fee. Simply log in, input your destination and dates, and then wait for all the best deals to appear right in front of you. If unsure regarding the value of these vacation discounts by all means you should compare them with a standard booking engine.

Although you will see, there is no comparison.

Affordable and easy to use, a vacation travel club is the best way to find vacation discounts and more online. The sign up process is hassle free, the online support is second to none and when it comes to the options available, the quality of services far exceed the monetary value of a member fee.

How to actually find real hotel discounts

by hotelsetc, posted in discounts

Finding hotel discounts is easy right? Well, it can be but largely thanks to a new law called Rate Parity, the process of doing so has changed entirely.

In the past, finding online travel discounts was a simple matter of logging on to Expedia, Orbitz or one of the many other traditional booking engines and performing a quick search. Fast and effective, these booking engines had all the best prices and a most convenient way of filtering them to find the best one. In fact, there was actually no reason to book direct with a hotel or look anywhere else as why bother when you know they have the best price guarantee?

So what has changed for finding hotel discounts?

If you perform a search on any of the traditional travel booking engines today, you will quickly see how the price of a hotel room, for example, is the same across all platforms. That is, every traditional booking engine will now display the same price and without any actual discount.

As mentioned above, the reason for this lack of value is the introduction of a new law called Rate parity which stipulates that all travel booking websites must retain the same price across all channels of distribution. As Orbitz, Hotels.com, Expedia and most other booking engines are “underneath the same umbrella corporation”, it means they can no longer advertise different rates across their many platforms and hence, no more travel or hotel discounts.

Moral of the story: Traditional booking engines are still fast and convenient but they are no longer the best value and do not offer discounts like they have done in the past.

Finding Hotel discounts is still easy

Although there is still an extremely easy way to find hotel discounts and more online. Exempt from the laws of Rate Parity and offering a very convenient booking engine of their own, travel membership clubs such as Hotels Etc are now the “Go to” for hotel discounts, vacation packages and much, much more.

Home to over 4 million members and with a five star reputation spanning 25 years, Hotels Etc is a travel membership club who negotiate huge discounts direct with suppliers with the intention of relaying this incredible value to their members. Ranging from 50 – 70%, these are significant discounts and with a user friendly booking engine, they are easily accessible with the click of a button.

In truth, you may not have heard about Hotels Etc until now but this is also easily explained. Hugely popular in the early 1990’s, Travel membership clubs were the best way to find hotel discounts prior to the arrival of the internet but this popularity declined with the emergence of a golden era for travel booking engines. Faced with increased competition from travel brands with highly valuable services, Hotels Etc retained a large customer base but unfortunately, failed to grow significantly there-after.

However, as with any market, the history of the travel industry has a habit of repeating itself and with the introduction of this new law called rate parity, Hotels Etc and other travel membership clubs are now enjoying a resurgence of sorts. That being said, we need not tell you anymore about the incredible offers available in this closed user group as you can just come on over and see for yourself.

Find huge discounts with a last minute travel club

by hotelsetc, posted in travel club

Simply put, at this moment there is no better opportunity to take advantage of discounts and special offers in the travel industry than when joining a travel club. Highly affordable and extremely convenient, a closed user group such as Westgate Travel Club is a straight forward way to search out the best hotel offers, vacations etc online and avail of them with ease.

Whether you need it for business or for personal savings, members of a last minute travel club can quickly search out the cheapest deals at the click of the button using the fast and easy booking engine on Hotels Etc. In many ways you might consider this booking facility as being similar to travel brands such as Expedia or Orbitz except one very important point – Hotels Etc is much, much cheaper.

Rate Parity and the rising travel club

Once popular in the early 1990’s, the travel club was at one point the only way to find hotel and travel discounts but the online world placed a whole legion of booking engines in front of consumers shortly after this period which overshadowed the amazing value on offer from the travel club. In truth, these new booking engines were offering a similar value with just as much convenience, so there could be no argument in terms of their rise to the top.

However, recent laws have almost reversed this trend entirely as the arrival of “Rate Parity” has meant traditional booking engines such as those mentioned previously (Expedia, Orbitz) are no longer permitted to advertise discounted prices across their many different channels of distribution. In simple English, this means the price on a booking engine is the same right the way across the industry.

And then you have the re-emergence of travel clubs. Exempt from these new laws, it would seem that a last minute travel club is now the one and only way to find genuine travel discounts online.

Modern day discounts

Although a travel club will operate in a different way to traditional booking engines, the end result has always been the same in that they seek to provide consumers with the cheapest hotel rooms. Having negotiated special rates members direct with the hotels, a travel club can then pass this discount on their members without any concern for the new law called rate parity. On the other hand, traditional booking engines are restricted to offering more expensive rates, albeit with the same convenient service.

Regardless as to what way you look at this scenario, it makes little sense to continue booking your hotels or vacations on a booking engine where the only real value is convenience. After all – customers want tangible discounts and low prices to help their funds travel further.

Moral of the story: Hotels Etc is a travel club which not only offers you the convenience of an easy to use booking facility but also an affordable price you cannot find anywhere else online. As for the traditional booking engines above, you can keep using them if you wish, but it will certainly cost you.
