Thank you for reading the post. I must clarify that travelers are not bidding. Instead, the lodgings bid for the itineraries of the travelers. Additionally, we, at LetMeGo, use the word "lodging" because we are not only limited to hotels, beds, or rooms. We also cover vacation rentals, tents, and pretty much any place where you can sleep. "Lodging", which is the abstraction of all these, is not a common word because most online services only offer one type of lodging: hotels, or rooms, or vacation rentals, etc. That, hopefully, will change, as more options equals more competition and lower prices.

>Instead, the lodgings bid for the itineraries of the travellers. Ah, I see. That wasn't evident to me. The way it was described seemed to be that travellers were bidding on open rooms and highest bid won. Your way is interesting, but I'm not sure what benefit it offers me as a traveller. In order to drive the service you'd need to create a market of travellers eager to provide the products to bid on. I'm having a hard time understanding why I would do that on the surface. Also, I understand why you use the word lodging, I just don't think it fits. I need to know as a consumer exactly how I can benefit from your product. If I'm confronted with a word that I need to define, it delays my understanding of the product and increases the chance that I not use it. Regardless, good luck to you. I wish you the best of successes.
