Travelport grows its hotel booking engine
The number of hotel properties available in the Travelport Rooms and More hotel booking engine has more than tripled since launching the tool last year.
With new content recently added from leading hotel aggregators Hotelzon and Tourico Holidays, more then 700,000 supplier offers are now available on more than 340,000 unique hotel properties.
The Travelport Rooms and More booking engine combines meta search functionality from Sprice.com – which was acquired by Travelport in May 2010 – with Travelport’s core B2B expertise.
Niklas Andreen, GVP hospitality and partner marketing, Travelport, said Travelport Rooms and More negates the need for leisure travel agents to search for hotel offers on multiple websites, instead allowing them to access and book commissionable accommodation offers through one easy process.
"With agents in over 70 countries now using it, we are also offering leisure hotel suppliers an additional platform through which to market their content," said Andreen.
Hotelzon and Tourico Holidays join 14 other hotel content suppliers on the portal, including Booking.com, Agoda, Hotels.com and LateRooms.
The tool also contains Travelport’s extensive GDS hotel content (available to Travelport GDS subscribers only).
Hotelzon, an online B2B hotel booking technology provider, adds more than 100,000 additional hotel property offers with 37,000 exclusive hotels that cannot be found via other distribution channels.
Tourico Holidays is a global travel brokerage headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The company’s core asset is its worldwide hotel network exceeding 37,000 individual properties across 4,500 destinations.
