Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) collaborate with various partners to enhance their service offerings and streamline operations. These partnerships are crucial for providing a seamless experience to travelers and ensuring efficient management for property owners. Here are the different kinds of OTA partners:

  1. Affiliate Partners: An affiliate partner is where Agoda has created multiple partnerships targeting different customer segments in different regions. Such as banks, airlines, and other corporations. Your property too will be able to get access to these affiliates and feature in the offerings by joining our marketing channels.
  1. Third-Party Suppliers: A third party supplier is a partnership between Agoda and another room aggregator, in which they supply rates and inventory to Agoda. Agoda’s goal is to supply best in class products to all customers which can involve third party supply that effectively complement our YCS offerings.
  1. Channel Managers: A channel manager provides properties with a single point to update rates & availability across multiple distribution channels. It will automatically update your inventory in real-time on all sites when a booking is made, and or when you carry out updates with regards to your rates and inventory.
  1. Property Management Systems (PMS): A property management system or a Hotel Operating System is a software that facilitates all hotel’s operations in one place by integrating all the different aspects such as reservations, housekeeping, rate and occupancy management, payment processing and channel management.

These partnerships are integral to the success of OTAs, allowing them to offer comprehensive services to travelers while supporting property owners in managing their operations effectively.
