The datawas analyzed using descriptive statistics and One-Way ANOVA.The results revealed that the most attractive hotel’s price framing methods for Thaitravelers were discount, bundle, reward, and auction-based framing. The discount framing ofthe high-price hotels should apply a dollar-off discount framing, whereas the low-price hotelsuse a percentage-off discount. Furthermore, the bundle framing, especially an all-inclusivepackage, should employ to the mid-price hotels.
