How are we able to offer these certificates?
Hotels, resorts and cruise lines contract with our vendors in order to provide these incentives. They offer these incentives to get people to use their accommodations and services and see what they have to offer.
Hotels rarely experience full occupancy except during conventions, holidays and weekends, so they contract with certain travel promotions companies. They make special offers that will lure people to come and see what they have to offer. When hotels have empty rooms, they do not make any money, and it is a waste of good money. True, they have lost the price of the room, however they can still let you stay for free in the hopes that you will stay longer, eat in their restaurants, spend money at their in-house shops and casinos, as well as taking advantage of their amenities (spa, room service, etc). When you leave, if you have a good time, they hope you will return or maybe even tell your friends.
This is why you will notice the fees are so much lower on our products. You pay the cost of the certificate and in general only the taxes.
