Leading Indian OTAs partner with eRevMax for upgraded connectivity

Leading Indian online travel agencies, Yatra.com and Travelguru.com have integrated with eRevMax to offer XML connectivity to its growing base of hotel customers.  Accommodation providers will now be able to make real-time ARI (Available Rate & Inventory) updates and receive bookings generated on these channels through eRevMax solutions directly into their property management system.

Following a two-way XML interface certification with eRevMax to leverage its RateTiger and Connect enterprise distribution services, Yatra and Travelguru.com join a growing list of certified distributors; part of the eRevMax Channel Ecosystem.  Yatra and Travelguru.com will be able to gain access to broader products and more inventories, improve booking conversion and increase revenues as part of its growth plans across the Asia Pacific region.
