Winners, Losers In Choice-Expedia Feud | hotelsmag.com

If you are not already aware, Expedia Inc. pulled all Choice Hotels from its Web sites on October 15 after contract negotiations broke down. Accusatory fingers are pointing in both directions. Choice refused to sign a deal that executives say would have created conditions that effectively take away franchisees’ rights to manage inventory and rates. Choice says it will not allow Expedia to restrict their ability to manage their business.
