What is Travel Meta Search Engine for Travel
Industry?

• A travel meta search engine is a price comparison
  website that compares hotel rates from several
  sources across the internet, OTAs (online travel
  agents) or directly from hotels.
• Travel meta search engines offer your best chance
  to get in-front of those searching for
  accommodation in a particular location.
• Metasearch engines act as a middle platform. They
  are available as separate websites that take
  queries from the travelers. These queries are
  then used to generate search results that are
  based on information from another search engine.

• These platforms work like an aggregator taking
  data from various sources across the internet
  like the OTA's (online travel agents) or directly
  from the hotels. Although, the travel metasearch
  platforms are not booking channels. They just
  serve as a search engine platform for several
  travel booking channels.
• Metasearch engine services usually includes
  flights, hotels, and car rentals some even
  provide packages to rival OTA's discounted prices
  when booking services together. This type of
  search engine can be an incredibly helpful tool
  to grow the hotel's business and reach a large
  number of travelers all at once.
• These engines merely take input from the clients
  and send them to third-party search engines. The
  information obtained from the third-party engines
  is formatted and ranked accordingly to be
  presented to the customers.

How Does Meta Search Work In The Travel Industry?

• A metasearch engine is a program that sends
  queries to several search engines and delivers a
  result based on a combination of the answers from
  the different search engine databases. Metasearch
  engines are a unique search engine that can help
  make the booking process for travelers more
  convenient.
• To make travel metasearch engines operate, it is
  up to online travel agencies, hotels, or other
  companies in the travel sector to provide key
  data on their websites with all the data about
  prices, availability of rooms and additional
  services, or the number of seats.
• To make a booking, the customer can click on one
  of the links and will be taken to the booking
  source to complete the reservation. On some
  metasearch sites, customers may also have the
  option to book the hotel without leaving the
  site.

• Customers input queries based on their needs in
  these travel metasearch engines. Results will be
  offered filtered according to rates parity, the
  length of the trip, location, check in date, etc.
• With the help of metasearch search engines, users
  also save time, as data from several sources is
  available in single place - so they don't have to
  browse various sites and search for offers on
  their own.
• The most leading metasearch platforms in the
  hospitality industry include Google Hotel Ads,
  Tripadvisor, KAYAK, Trivago, and Skyscanner. Some
  metasearch sites also aggregate information for
  flights, car rentals, and activities, enabling
  travelers to plan a whole trip from one travel
  site.

Why Is Metasearch A Booming Trend in The Travel
Industry?

• Meta search engines also known as aggregators.
  Based to customer input data and query these
  search engines uses third party search engine
  data to display search results response rather
  than using individual core resource data like
  conventional search giants such as Google, Yahoo
  and Bing.
• Meta-search engines provide consumers a
  time-saving solution for searching for the best
  deal, through aggregation of several hotel,
  flight and other travel sources into one website.
  With new competitors leveraging information at
  the top of the funnel, meta-search engines turn
  to new services and monetization strategies.
• This makes it much easier for travelers to
  compare rates across several channels to make the
  most efficient booking decision. The key
  difference is that metasearch engines don't
  directly sell their own inventory allotments.

7

• Therefore, metasearchers allow travelers to
  search and compare comfortably in single place
  the same prices that they would have found
  scattered in several websites, after hours of
  research, the greatest benefit of metasearch
  engines is to make the consumers decision making
  process easier and to allow them to find the best
  price available for the services they intend to
  hire.
• On a hotel metasearch, all the rates-aggregated
  from several channels of all available rooms in a
  hotel are visible in the search results. This
  comprehensive approach increases the chances for
  a hotel to receive a booking.
• In short, metasearch provides consumers a quick
  and comprehensive view of product choice and
  almost instantaneous purchasing options, by
  directing the buyer to the site providing the
  option/price he has chosen - seamlessly. This is
  why it is growing in popularity and this is why
  all travel product suppliers need to take it
  passionately.
