Online booking sites are here to stay in our digital age. While they can offer greater exposure and occupancy rates for hotels, they also tend to create lower average room rates and other problems in the hotel and travel industry. Discuss your thoughts with the interviewer, but try to remain neutral if you are unsure where Ritz-Carlton stands when it comes to this type of service.

"I have primarily worked for hotels that collaborate with online booking sites, and I have seen both the upside and the downside to this service. Yes, rooms fill at a faster rate; however, there is a significant drop in revenue per room. I would be interested in your thoughts on the use of online booking sites for this hotel."
