(1) Brand Website: Website where distribution is operated and managed by the brand (e.g.
http://www.marriott.com/).
(2) Retail Website: Third-party distributor where the hotel lists inventory at the same price that it is sold to
the consumer and hotel pays distributor agreed upon commission (e.g. HRS, Bookings, Venere in Europe).
(3) Merchant Website: Third-party distributor where the hotel provides inventory to the site at a net rate. The
merchant marks up the rate by an agreed upon percentage. The consumer pays the merchant at the gross
rate and the merchant site pays the hotel the net rate (e.g. Expedia/Hotels.com, Travelocity and Orbitz).
(4) Opaque Website: Third-party distributor that enables customers to choose a fare or rate without knowing
the brand of the supplier until after the item is purchased (e.g. Priceline).
