Bedbank culls hotels after review
Accommodation-only supplier Youhotels.com has cut its hotel portfolio by 30% after a three-month review.
The bedbank says it wants to focus on 'quality over quantity' and has dumped hotels which don’t sell or which get bad reviews.
The number of hotels featured for winter 2011/12 will be cut by 30% and for summer 2012 by 32%.
The review looked at sales performance, consumer and agent feedback, along with health and safety records.
Youhotels.com UK managing director Matt Cheevers said: "This isn't just about cutting out hotels that don't sell, this is about cutting properties from our programme which consistently receive negative reviews and those which don't offer good value for money.
“It's about making agents life that little bit easier: they know by booking with us a certain standard has already been met."
