The Hotel Chains such as Hilton Worldwide & Marriott International making a significant push for the direct bookings and offering loyalty program members lower rates than they give to online travel agencies, Darren Huston is not happy with some of these moves.

“I don’t appreciate some of the actions that are taken on a chain level sometimes. Huston characterized Booking.com’s relationships with hotels as “tight.” ~ DARREN HUSTON

The remarks came in response to the query concerning Hilton Worldwide getting increasingly forceful in its advertising and chains becoming more stingy in giving sites such as Priceline’s Booking.com last-room availability.
