Executive Travel Takes “Pepsi Challenge” on Myth of Expedia Hotel Savings

Executive Travel (executivetravel.com) has just completed a comprehensive study comparing the hotel rates offered by Expedia to hotel rates negotiated by Executive Travel on behalf of their corporate customers and found that the Executive Travel negotiated hotel rates saved $20.65 a night compared to the Expedia hotel rates for the same properties and dates of stay.

The hotel study was performed the week of May 23, 2016 and compared ETI negotiated corporate hotel rates in 51 random cities to those offered at the same hotel properties by Expedia. In the 51 cities, the Executive Travel negotiated hotel rates were lower than Expedia in 44 (86%) of the 51 cities. The average ETI hotel rate for all 51 cities studied was $93.76 a night compared to Expedia’s rate of $114.41, a savings of $20.65 a night or 18%.
