Expedia Parity Control Guide

Understanding Parity

Parity ensures your rates and availability are consistent across all booking channels.

Rate Parity Example:

• Your property website: $150/night
• Expedia: $150/night
• Ripe: $150/night
• Other OTA: $150/night

Availability Parity Example:

• If you show 5 rooms available on Expedia, you should show 5 rooms available everywhere else.

Why Parity Matters

For Your Property:

• Protects your brand: Consistent pricing avoids guest confusion.
• Prevents rate shopping: Guests won't shop around if prices are the same.
• Maintains relationships: Major OTAs require parity in their contracts.
• Simplifies management: One set of rates to maintain.

For Guests:

• Fair pricing: No one pays more for the same room.
• Booking confidence: They know they're getting a good deal.
• Prevents disappointment: Availability shown is actually available.
