Excerpt from ZihuaRob's post
"I saw they either list their rates in their local currency or they offer a drop-down box where you select your currency and it's automatically converted. None offered rates exclusively in dollars including those lodgings where U.S. citizens are their primary market."
Hola Z.R:
I would agree with U on that.
In effect, that was a suggestion I noted in my post.
If someone thinks that some type of conversion option, such as a drop-down box, or similar option, is NOT a good idea, then they should "get real."
Take this example please:
Let's say a AAA member in the USA was looking for rates for a hotel in México, via the US based AAA website.
I would expect that the rates shown be listed in USD, and, have a drop-down box, (or similar option) for a MXP rate.
On the other hand, if that person found a hotel in México, and went to their MX based website, I would expect a MXP rate to be primary, and, offer an option such as a drop-down box, to get a USD rate, as well.
This issue need not be so complicated or controversial.
Businesses have different objectives, etc., and ways of doing business.
We may agree, or disagree with them.
One is entitled to take their business elsewhere if they don't agree.
