Travelocity Launches ‘Top Secret’ Hotels But Can It Compete With Priceline?

By , August 14, 2011 11:46 am

I’ve long been a fan of ‘masked’ hotel reservation sites like Hotwire and Priceline. If you aren’t familiar with the concept, this is how it works. Prior to making a reservation, you are given some information about the hotel you’re about to reserve, but not all information. Typically, you know the general vacinity of the hotel, and the hotels star rating. In the case of Hotwire, you are also provided with a list of hotel amenities such as pool, on-site restaurant, shuttle service to the airport, and so on. If you like the price, you can make a reservation and then learn the hotel name and specific location.

This isn’t for everyone. If you think you might want to cancel your reservation, don’t bother using these sites as they are non-refundable most of the time. Also, if you want to join your friends or colleagues at a specific hotel, don’t use ‘masked’ hotel booking services. But if you’re somewhat flexible on your location and confident your plans won’t change, then these services are great. I’ve been using these sites for several years and have saved a lot of money in the process.

Travelocity is the latest to offer ‘masked’ hotel reservations with a service they call Top Secret Hotels. Top Secret Hotels has actually been offered on their site for some 3 or 4 months, but I wanted to let them work out the kinks before using it and writing a review.

Bunol has a population of around 9,000 but during the La Tomatina Festival, the number of people in this town balloons to over 30,000 people. Of course with the sudden increase of people coming here, the hotels and inns could not accommodate the visitors which are why many would come and stay at Valencia which is just a bus ride away from Bunol.

AIRLINES LOYALTY: A Psychological Perspective

By , August 5, 2011 11:22 am

Despite the extant literature on customer loyalty, it is recognized that the psychological processes behind customer loyalty and commitment are still ill understood (Pritchard et al. 1999). The fundamental guidance system for all human responses is powered by its emotional palette. Thus, to understand its underpinnings and moderate it to favor an organization within limited extend, an deep understanding of human psychology is important.

Total customer-loyalty is the Holy Grail that all organizations seek in order to meet their business objectives and bolster financial bottom-lines. Every organization has the fantasy that their customers would remain totally loyal to their business. If this could be achieved, they would remain profitable forever. This is a dichotomous thought because, if all customers would restrict their loyalty to a few organizations, then customer acquisition-the manna for business growth would grind to a halt, killing expansion and new initiatives. Thus, disloyalty within varying degrees is a reality and a necessary evil.

Reality is far from fantasy, and humans will keep shifting their loyalty at varying levels as they are by nature promiscuous in all their relationships. Their ability to think intelligently enables them to explore various combinations and permutations in every situation

and choose what is most favorable to them. The “sense” of loyalty seems be a part of the survival instinct. It helps people come together and live within groups & undertake tasks that would otherwise have been impossible to execute alone or in small numbers.

This human tendency to cluster together is… Read the rest
