MakeMyTrip has a 48% share of India’s burgeoning online travel sector, with more than 3.5 million customers and books over 1,000 hotel room nights each day. More than 40% of its 3.5 million customers are repeat clients.

Duncan Waterman, SiteMinder Partnerships Manager, said the company is the first global channel manager to achieve two-way booking connectivity with MakeMyTrip reservation site, which provides its global hotel customers with ready access to this online market.

“Real-time inventory can now be listed on MakeMyTrip and, in turn, bookings from this site can now be delivered automatically back into hotels’ PMS and CRSs, providing a seamless, two-way connection that will bring great benefits to hoteliers keen to reach bigger online audiences such as India,” he added.

MakeMyTrip Senior Vice President, Amit Saberwal, said his company sees a lot of synergies and a win-win proposition in the mutual association and two-way connectivity with SiteMinder.
