Grow your hotel’s presence with B2B distribution rates

Discover how our B2B distribution rates can help you expand your reach and connect with high-value travellers. 


It’s no secret that a comprehensive B2B strategy is essential for success, regardless of your property’s size. However, navigating the vast hotel distribution market and managing rates can be complicated and resource intensive. 

 

Our B2B distribution rates make it easier for you to increase your reach across our extensive B2B distribution network of more than 60,000 global travel partners while giving you control over your rates. Read on to learn more about our distribution rates and how they can work for you.



Grow your reach and unlock demand with B2B distribution rates


Increase your B2B presence


B2B distribution rates incentivise our trusted partner network to showcase your property to new audiences, helping you increase visibility and unlock incremental demand from high-value travellers—no matter how or where they book.




Hotels that offer B2B distribution rates increased exposure on our B2B network by over 30%.*




What makes our B2B distribution rates different?


Unlike other solutions in the market that work on a net-rate basis, our B2B distribution partners operate on a sell-rate model. This gives you more control over the selling price, helping provide rate integrity. 

 

Additionally, Expedia has powerful compliance controls in place to reduce rate misuse. This includes a zero-tolerance policy for individual properties impacted, as well as a dedicated team to monitor trends to help predict rate and content issues before they arise.

 

Other key features include: 

  • Self-serve tool via Expedia Partner Central;

  • Live, timely support from an account manager;

  • B2B reporting with a distribution rate plan filter at property level in Expedia Partner Central.

Streamline your B2B rate management


B2B distribution rates are easy to set up in Expedia Partner Central and, just like standard rate plans, you can adjust them based on various factors, including dates, room type and duration of stay. Using Expedia Group as a single connection for all B2C and B2B bookings, you have a holistic view of current traveller reach and future opportunities with our self-serve reporting tool. 

 

All this saves you time and resources to focus on what matters most—delighting guests and delivering the best traveller experience.
