Duo launch strategic partnership
RateHawk, a B2B online booking system, has launched a strategic partnership with EliteTravel Group, representing some of the highest-quality independent travel agencies in the United Kingdom.
This move will see Elite’s members have access to RateHawk’s global accommodation inventory.
RateHawk will also provide them with exclusive offers, booking benefits, and product information, as well as organise educational workshops at Elite’s October Conference in Guernsey, having already done some during its annual Summer BBQ, to deepen members’ knowledge on how innovation can help in their daily routine.
Wendy Albutt, marketing and events manager at Elite Travel Group, said: “We’re very pleased with the early results of our partnership with RateHawk.
“Since the collaboration began, half of our branches have joined, and we’ve already seen a 120% increase in gross bookings made by our members for 2025 via RateHawk platform compared to last year.
“Such a swift adaptation to the new tool highlights its ease of use and the clear value RateHawk brings to their business. It’s great to see our members using new tools that help them work better, and we’ll keep supporting them as they grow and improve.”
Chantal Tomlinson, head of business development for the UK & Ireland at RateHawk, added: “Elite Travel Group is known for its strong community culture and the collaborative environment they foster.
“Their focus on loyalty, trust-based relationships with top suppliers and delivering exceptional service to clients aligns fully with RateHawk’s values.
“We are excited to grow together and support Elite members with tools and inventory that will boost their daily operations,” she said.
