Direct bookings
just became a team sport

Until now, every hotel, short term rental, and experience operator had to win direct bookings on their own. The Alliance changes that by bringing the collective power of a network to direct bookings.

The advantage direct booking never had

Platforms win because they are networks.

They span destinations, properties, experiences, and trip types. A traveler does not need to return to the same operator for the platform to win again. Direct booking has never had that advantage. Each operator has had to win guests, bring them back, and create future revenue mostly on their own.

Direct, without the Alliance
Direct, with the Alliance

The Alliance gives direct booking a network of its own.

We bring operators, partners, and shared initiatives into one connected ecosystem, so more bookings shift direct, more guests keep booking direct, and more revenue stays with the operators and partners building the direct channel.

Alliance initiatives

We're building open initiatives.

To benefit the whole direct booking ecosystem.
