Travel infrastructure provider Spotnana has agreed a direct integration with Booking.com to give its partners and customers access to the OTA giant’s global itinerary.
Spotnana’s customers will have access to rates previously only available to corporate travellers through the Booking.com website.
Spotnana’s integration to Booking.com’s API supports the entire traveller journey, from booking through to servicing.
Travellers can access a ‘consumer-grade user experience’ with self-service trip modifications and cancellations, while travel agents can address global servicing requests through Spotnana’s agent desktop.
Spotnana’s travel management company (TMC) partners can choose to activate this new integration using the configurable content controls available within Spotnana Cloud for TMCs.
Additions for travel buyers and sellers include access to flexible pre-paid and pay-at-property options, loyalty member rates, closed user group pricing with geo-specific rates, last-minute deals, deals of the day, and seasonal promotions, as well as support for long‑stay bookings, a ‘work‑friendly’ tag for non‑hotel accommodation and multi‑language responses.
“Through our partnership with Spotnana, we are expanding our mission to make the world easier to experience by providing direct access to our extensive travel inventory,” said Mark van der Linden, vice president of partnerships at Booking.com.
“Spotnana’s unique architecture enables us to provide an exceptional experience to travellers, while making our inventory easy for TMCs to service.”
Bill Brindle, executive vice president of content and commercials at Spotnana, added: “It’s our goal to make content fragmentation a concern of the past by building the deepest direct connections to the world’s largest travel providers, aggregators, and online travel agencies.
“This partnership enables us to provide full access to Booking.com’s inventory at rates that are highly attractive to travel buyers and sellers. Through Spotnana Cloud for TMCs, activating this content is now as easy as flipping a switch.”
