We are pleased to announce that we have up and running a powerful direct 2-way connection to Expedia QuickConnect – an interface to connect hotel and World’s leading booking portals from Expedia family, such as Expedia.com, Hotwire, Hotels.com and Venere. This solution will enable the hotel to manage all rates, inventory and availability from its Colibri Property Management System and to receive reservations directly into its Reservation Board.
Direct connection allows us to lower the channel management fees by removing an intermediate tier between the hotel and the booking portal. As a side benefit it makes the reservation gathering, availability and price update a bit faster, more stable and secure because bites of the information should not go through an extra step in the Hotel <-> Channel chain.
