Trip.com optimization for hotels in Sibiu: how I approach it
Trip.com volume in Sibiu is small, though Asian tour groups visiting Transylvania and the painted monasteries further north sometimes stop here. I make sure the content is correct in Chinese, that room types and breakfast details are accurate, and that the hotel replies to messages quickly. I keep rates in line with the main channels to avoid undercutting.
My first step is to review Ebooking content and room mapping, so guests see correct information before any rate changes.
January to MarchLow
I keep winter rates modest and court skiers heading to Păltiniș and couples on short city weekends, without opening long discounts that would still be live when spring bookings start.
April to MayShoulder
Easter and the May long weekend bring the first Romanian city-breakers, and the jazz festival adds a few nights, so I lift weekends steadily from April and keep weekdays open.
Cisnădie and Cisnădioara
Villages at the edge of the mountains where families and hikers stay longer, so I price whole houses on weekly value and parking rather than on festival dates.
Trip.com is the leading channel for Chinese outbound travel, and its guests book differently, expect different services and reward different signals. If your market receives these visitors, a profile written for them is a separate piece of work, not a translation.

Views but few bookings
