manque général de lisibilité de l’offre

For a hotel group, I understand a lack of transparency (of its offering) but that seems odd here, many thanks

enrichir l’expérience client et les services, rentabiliser certains espaces communs, et renforcer la visibilité des hôtels sur internet.

general lack of transparency

In economics, a market is transparent if much is known by many about:

What products, services or capital assets are available.
What price.
Where.

There are two types of price transparency: 1) I know what price will be charged to me, and 2) I know what price will be charged to you. The two types of price transparency have different implications for differential pricing.[1]

This is a special case of the topic at transparency (humanities).

A high degree of market transparency can result in disintermediation due to the buyer's increased knowledge of supply pricing.

Transparency is important since it is one of the theoretical conditions required for a free market to be efficient.

Price transparency can, however, lead to higher prices, if it makes sellers reluctant to give steep discounts to certain buyers, or if it facilitates collusion.

neutral  writeaway: so you agree with Asker's own suggestion now?
17 mins
  -> transparency, not clarity, is part of economists' jargon.

disagree  Tony M: 'Transparency' means something rather different, and amount here to over-interpretation. / My comment stands: one doesn't talk about transparency in this way in a retail market, which this seems to be.
9 hrs
  -> see above. Did you read : 'A high degree of market transparency can result in disintermediation due to the buyer's increased knowledge of supply pricing'?.

disagree  B D Finch: A lack of transparency implies deliberate concealment, something not implied in the ST.
