Expedia has signed a deal with hotel chain Best Western to distribute its properties on all of the travel firm’s sites.
Expedia features more than 150 travel sites in more than 70 countries, and Best Western has a portfolio of more than 4,000 hotels in over 100 countries and territories worldwide.
“Expedia is an incredibly valuable distribution and marketing channel, and we see this new strategic partnership as a great investment to ensure hoteliers can easily and efficiently sell their hotel rooms on their sites,” Dorothy Dowling, senior VP of marketing and sales at Best Western International.
“Expedia excels at driving demand from around the world, and their marketing power is something that our hotels will benefit from leveraging,” she added.
The agreement includes participation in the Expedia Traveller Preference programme, which provides Expedia shoppers with an option to pay at the time of the booking, or pay the hotel at the time of stay.
The rates and availability of rooms will also be reflected in real-time in Expedia sites, providing the best possible customer experience with seamless booking integration.
