With new content recently added from
hotel aggregators Hotelzon and Tourico Holidays, over 700,000
supplier offers are now available on more than 340,000 unique
hotel properties on the Travelport Rooms and More hotel booking
engine.
Travelport Rooms and More, which was launched
just over a year ago, formed part of Travelport’s heightened
investment and focus in the fast growing hospitality sector.
The
booking engine combines meta search functionality from Sprice.com
- which was acquired by Travelport in May 2010 - with Travelport’s
core B2B expertise, to deliver a completely integrated hotel
booking platform. It is now available in over 70 countries and six
languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Polish).
Niklas Andreen, GVP Hospitality and Partner
Marketing, Travelport, said, “The case for developing
Travelport Rooms and More was a strong one as it complements our
GDS hotel offering and benefits everyone in the supply chain.
Importantly, it 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 quick and 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.”
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, Hotelzon
offers a comprehensive European inventory that continues to grow
organically.
Tourico Holidays, a Travel Holdings, Inc.
company, is a leading global travel brokerage company
headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The company's core asset is its
worldwide hotel network exceeding 37,000 individual properties
across 4,500 destinations.
