Emerging Travel Group, a global travel tech company operating RateHawk, ZenHotels and Roundtrip brands, and travel tech platform Traveloka have launched a strategic partnership to expand their global distribution and broaden their accommodation offerings.
Under the partnership, Traveloka will gain
access to ETG’s extensive hotel inventory, with broad geographic coverage and a
wide selection of accommodation across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America,
and the US.
The inventory will be integrated into
Traveloka through the RateHawk API, giving its customers access to competitive
rates and a broader choice of accommodation options.
Erik Akhmetgaliev, Regional Director APAC at RateHawk, commented: “We're delighted to support Traveloka's outbound growth. ETG's inventory, sourced from more than 350 wholesalers and 250,000 directly connected properties, is now available on Traveloka's platform through the RateHawk API, giving its customers a much wider choice of accommodation in key destinations worldwide.”
“Demand for ETG's inventory across Asia keeps growing, and this partnership further strengthens our presence in the region. We will continue to build our network of API partners and expect to announce new collaborations soon,” added Erik Akhmetgaliev.
Tejveer Singh Bedi, Vice President of Commercial, Accommodation, Traveloka, said: “Our partnership with Emerging Travel Group significantly expands global accommodation choices for travelers while driving international demand to our Asia-Pacific hotel partners. By combining Traveloka’s leadership with ETG’s network, we are accelerating cross-border travel opportunities and delivering a seamless booking experience worldwide.”
The partnership is mutually beneficial, with ETG also accessing Traveloka’s extensive accommodation inventory across Southeast Asian markets.
Nikita Elagin, Managing Director for Consolidator Business Unit at ETG, said: “Traveloka has strong regional expertise and extensive accommodation coverage across APAC, particularly in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. These markets consistently rank among the top 30 most-booked destinations across ETG’s platforms, with demand continuing to grow and reflecting strong interest from both travel professionals and individual travelers. By combining Traveloka’s inventory with our own, we can further expand the choice and competitive rates available to our customers. Our weighted approach to supply selection allows us to optimize how inventory is distributed across our network, taking into account factors such as availability, quality, pricing, and market demand. This enables us to provide the most relevant accommodation options to our customers while continuing to respond to growing demand across the region.” -TradeArabia News Service
