Traveloka, Emerging Travel Group strengthen hotel inventory access across markets

Traveloka and Emerging Travel Group (ETG) have teamed up to extend accommodation distribution across international markets, giving both companies access to additional hotel inventory.

Under the agreement, Traveloka will integrate ETG’s accommodation inventory through the RateHawk API, expanding its hotel offerings across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and the US.

ETG’s inventory is sourced from more than 350 wholesalers and 250,000 directly contracted properties, providing Traveloka customers with additional accommodation options and rates for international travel.

In return, ETG will gain access to Traveloka’s accommodation inventory across South-east Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

These three markets are among the 30 most-booked destinations across ETG’s platforms, reflecting demand from travel professionals and individual travellers.

The partnership will allow ETG to distribute additional South-east Asian accommodation through its travel brands, which include RateHawk, ZenHotels and Roundtrip.

ETG will also use its existing inventory selection process to determine how accommodation is distributed across its network, taking into account availability, pricing, quality and market demand.

The agreement supports Traveloka’s outbound travel business while providing ETG with additional accommodation supply in Asia-Pacific.

Tejveer Singh Bedi, vice president of commercial, accommodation at Traveloka, said: “Our partnership with Emerging Travel Group significantly expands global accommodation choices for travellers while driving international demand to our Asia-Pacific hotel partners.”
