Without knowing the full set of requirements I can't give you a definite answer, but my first question is: "What is the purpose of the 'search tariff' use case? If it is purely to be able to select a hotel in order to book it then this is an extension of the 'book hotel' use case.
Basically, the process I would use is to write a use case for each instance of 'search tariff' + [whatever else comes next (including book hotel)]. Once you have the basic flow for each, determine if it is to your benefit to combine common flows using <<extends> and <<includes>>. Don't go out of your way to find these relationships, use them only if you can justify the time spent re-organizing your use cases. that's the way I might look at it.
