Increase demand and attract high-value guests

One Key unifies Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo into one simple and easy-to-use programme. It allows travellers to earn and use rewards with all three brands and across different trip elements like hotels, holiday rentals, flights, car hire and more. One Key can help you attract high-value travellers who spend more per booking and travel more frequently than non-members.⁵ Learn more about how One Key drives demand for your property. 

Give your guests an exceptional experience and get rewarded for it. In exchange for offering top-tier members exclusive perks or discounts, you enjoy increased visibility and support from Expedia Group without impacting your marketing budget. See if you qualify for the VIP Access programme.

Benefit from the broadest offerings in travel. Travellers can shop for different trip add-ons, evaluate price points and amenities, and arrange transfers to and from the airport—all in one place. Travellers that book multi-item trips book earlier, stay longer and cancel less than those that book individual trip elements.⁶ Reaching these high-value travellers can help you scale your business in all seasons.

Reach travellers that are hard to access through your own channels by tapping into our extensive B2B distribution network, which includes financial institutions, membership organisations, travel agencies and thousands of businesses around the world that leverage our platform and technology.

 

This extended reach and visibility gives you seamless access to travellers in more emerging markets and those who tend to stay longer, travel more internationally and fill more mid-week bookings while maintaining your rate integrity.⁷

Frequently asked questions


Sign up

To list your property with Expedia Group, sign up through our online form. You will need the following information:

  • Property address
  • Property type
  • Number of individual spaces that can be booked at each property
  • Contact details for ongoing correspondence

Verify your account and review business terms


Next, we’ll send you an email to verify your account and ask you to sign in to our secure platform. From there, you can review our standard business terms, including the compensation percentage (paid only when you have bookings) and ways to get paid.

Have any tax and regulatory information ready if required by your local government.


Set up your listing


Now it’s time to describe your property. We’ll prompt you for the detail travellers want about the rooms, grounds and amenities you offer. The information you enter will save automatically, so it’s easy to come back if you don’t have all the answers.


What you’ll need:
 

  • Details about rooms—layout, bed size, etc.
  • A list of available amenities—from Wi-Fi to swimming pools
  • Rates by type of room
  • High-resolution pictures of rooms, common spaces and amenities
  • A list of fees, deposits and policies
  • The dates you’re available to welcome guests


That’s it! Soon, your property will be live and available to millions of travellers researching trips in our marketplace. When you receive a booking, you’ll be able to message the guest, providing and requesting information to help you anticipate needs and streamline check-in.

Thankfully, no! You do not need to sign up for all Expedia Group brands separately. When you partner with us, your listing will appear on some of the world’s leading online travel brands, including Expedia, Hotels.com and more, as well as on our B2B distribution network. Collectively, our sites cover virtually every aspect of researching, planning and booking travel. Leisure and business travellers with various tastes and budgets rely on our sites for all their travel needs.

Compensation for reservations varies around the globe, and we’ll share the percentage for your market as part of the contracting process.

We answer common questions and provide more in-depth instructions for using our technology on our Help and Support page within Partner Central:

https://apps.expediapartnercentral.com/lodging/help/overview

 

If you can’t find what you need, you can contact support teams through the same page:

https://apps.expediapartnercentral.com/lodging/help/contactus

Our easy-to-use platform, Partner Central, will be the primary location for managing reservations, loading inventory, changing rates and keeping your listing up to date. You can log in to Partner Central to leverage our more advanced tools including competitive set analysis, real-time market pricing and other marketing programmes. If you have any problems, our local teams are ready to help.  

No, you don’t need to work with a connectivity provider or have a connectivity solution in place to effectively list your property with Expedia Group. However, having worked with over a million properties globally, we know manually managing your inventory can take a lot of time. Many partners choose to use a connectivity provider to link to our systems and automatically perform daily tasks. A connectivity provider creates a two-way flow of information between your systems and ours, so reservations, rates and availability update automatically. Displaying accurate inventory maximises the impact of your listing and reduces the risk of overbooking.

When you're ready to build a campaign to meet your business goals, simply contact one of our digital advertising experts to get started.

We offer a full-funnel suite of advertising solutions to reach the right traveller at the
right point in their purchasing journey. From display ads and co-op campaigns to
bespoke creative campaigns and off-site advertising options, start exploring all the options that are available.

We'll provide you with first-party data on traveller trends and behaviour that no one else has. These unique insights give you a head start in building campaigns that help you stand apart from the competition. And we've made monitoring your campaign easy with robust dashboards that include real-time reporting, ad clicks, conversions and more so that you can keep a pulse on how your campaign is performing.

Our precise targeting capabilities help you find the travellers you're looking to reach. We can reach travellers based on trip details, hotel attributes, region or more to get you in front of the people you want to connect with.
