TripAdvisor TripConnect
TripConnect is a powerful way for independent properties to drive direct bookings from the world’s largest travel website directly to your property’s website booking engine. TripConnect allows independent hoteliers’ bid to appear in TripAdvisor’s hotel price comparison search on a cost-per-click (CPC) model. This offering will help promote more direct bookings and help drive down the cost of pricey third-party bookings from online travel agents (OTAs).
TripConnect allows you to show your rates and availability via your online booking engine, on your TripAdvisor listing page and in area search results that feature your property. Your website’s booking engine will appear alongside links from online travel agents, which can increase the opportunity for direct bookings.
What are the biggest advantages of TripConnect?
- Maximize bookings: TripConnect sends travelers, who are ready to book directly from TripAdvisor, to your website’s booking page.
- Increase revenue: By sending travelers directly to your website’s booking engine, it’s easier to upsell guests to higher-priced rooms and add-ons.
- Reduce costs: By generating more direct bookings you’ll spend less money in commission fees from OTAs.
