Meituan is an important platform for hotel online operation, but besides the hotel's own operation, there are also ranking rules formulated by the platform that affect the hotel's OTA ranking.
In order to increase the exposure, hotels often register accounts on multiple platforms. The platform will often launch some preferential activities, and the original hotel users will participate in these activities, which will also help increase their profits. However, the price after different platform activities may lead to the price of Ctrip platform being lower than that of Meituan, so customers naturally go to places where the platform is more favorable. In order to avoid such losses, Meituan, whose interests are damaged, will automatically lower the hotel price and exchange the benefits of the platform at the expense of the hotel.
