Booking.com is piloting a portal, Booking.com for Travel Agents, which will enable travel agents to book and manage accommodations via Booking.com.
The new platform is an extension of the company’s existing Affiliate Partner Programme, and leverages technology and infrastructure being developed for Booking.com for Business.
Travel agents who join the platform will be eligible for similar partner benefits as all Booking.com affiliate partners.
New platform enables agents to book and manage clients’ accommodation easily.
Agents using the platform can view and manage reservations on a single dashboard that also include customisable reports for monitoring bookings, as well as provide a breakdown of their earnings.
Bryan Batista, senior director of global partnerships at Booking.com, said the company created the portal as it had seen more agents using Booking.com to manage reservations.
He added Booking.com would continue to innovate the platform and add more features to it over the coming months.
