Rate parity

Rate parity is offering the same room, for the same dates and conditions, at the same price on every channel: the hotel’s own website, each online travel agency and the phone.

A contract term or a choice

Some OTA contracts have carried parity clauses. A wide clause covers every channel; a narrow one covers only the hotel’s own website. Whether such a clause applies to you depends on the contract you signed and on the law where the hotel operates, so check both.

How to check it

Compare like with like: the same room type, the same rate plan with the same cancellation and breakfast terms, the same dates, and the price the guest will pay including taxes. A disparity can be a mapping mistake in the channel manager rather than a decision anyone made.

Parity concerns the published price. What a hotel adds for a guest who books direct, such as a better cancellation term or breakfast, is a separate question, and a common place for a direct booking strategy to start.
