酒店的营销增减效率通过酒店中间商的地位与作用
    对酒店而言，能直接销售给最终消费宾客，单位利润相对较高，而且对营销渠道能进行最直接而有效的监管，这种传统的选择当然是不错的。随着市场的不断发展和成熟，实际上，众多酒店的销售有赖于中间商的运作，毕竟酒店产品最终消费者（包括显示和潜在的）数量庞大而且分散很广，酒店假如只靠直接渠道而消耗大量人力、物力、财力，却效果却未必达到很好，因为生产领域到消费领域的转移过程中，起到了桥梁的连接作用。由于中间商的存在，不仅大大简化了营销手续，节约了营销费用，还扩大了营销范围，因此提高了营销效率。酒店中间商的作用主要体现在以下六个方面：
   （1）提高酒店产品流通效率
    通过一个酒店中间商的介入，减少了交易的次数，使得产品流通的效率大大提高。这样，中间商的介入帮助减少了许多工作量。销售者和购买者的数量越多，酒店中间商介入所减少的交易次数及节约的社会总劳动就越多。这是酒店中间商最大的贡献。
   （2）节省销售总费用
    通过中间商，能减少酒店与最终消费者之间的节洽次数，尤其是减少了跨地区的接洽，节约了时间和人力，降低交易费用，提高了经济效益。假设酒店有三个销售员分别负责欧洲、韩国以及内等三个目标市场，如果近靠直接销售的话，那单就国际差旅费、交际费来说，在各地预售点的开设、运营得用就已非常庞大。如果通过一家具有实力的旅行社中介，对于酒店来说，只需要中人力、物力与其搞好关系，并提供酒店VI设计高品质的产品与服务即可获得一部分稳定的客源。
   （3）调节生产与消费之间的矛盾
    酒店中间商起着社会生产的“蓄水池”作用。一方面，酒店中间商的存在客源缓和供需之间在时间、地点和商品数量、种类等方面的矛盾；另一方面，酒店中间商的存在能为生产者和消费者带来方便。对消费者而言，酒店中间商充当了他们的采购代理，酒店中间商可以在合适的时间和地点提供所需要的产品、灵活的付款方式和条件以及周到的售后服务；而对于生产者或贸易企业来说，酒店中间商的存在使酒店的销路有了保证，降低了流通成本。

Strength through a travel agency intermediary for the hotel, just need the manpower, material and a good relationship with, and provide high quality products and services can be obtained as part of a stable source.
