旅遊大數據秘笈

Nowadays most of us like to check room availability and price using mobile apps. These apps (booking.com, agoda.com etc) claim to have the best rates guaranteed comparing different sources. But I don’t believe that. In Kathmandu, booking good hotels is not easy especially when you check the availability for a long weekend, most apps will display the full status.

Big Data is about 3Vs, if u apply this rule, try to search for their phone number on google, call them early in the morning when the manager has just come on duty, you can ask if there’s a room that has been cancelled by hotel VIP customers, and ask for a 20% discount. It always works. That’s real big data that computers are still incapable of performing smarter than you.
