Travel Agents Not Happy With Marriotts Direct Booking Campaign

Travel Rob 8/16/153:00 PM

The President of the American Society of Travel Agents, Zane Kirby, released this statement about Marriott's Direct Booking Campaign.

"Suppliers have the right to market their product however they choose, as long as the advertisements are legal and truthful. Marriott's new marketing campaign, which tells consumers that they can only find the best rates on Marriott.com, is not only disparaging to travel agents, but also misleading to the traveling public."

He furher went on to call upon Marriott to withdraw this marketing campaign immediately.
