Interface to help connected hotels make real-time rate and availability update.
LONDON – TravelRepublic, one of the leading online travel channels in Europe, has completed 2-way XML interface with eRevMax to offer faster connectivity to its growing base of customers. This integration will help accommodation providers connected to the channel using eRevMax’s online distribution platforms, RateTiger and Connect to update inventory, availability and room rates in real-time. TravelRepulic partner hotels will also benefit from eRevMax’s Reservation Delivery Service, which facilitates automatic transfer of reservations booked at the channel directly to the hotel systems (CRS/PMS), thereby eliminating chances of missing reservations or overbookings.
Following the interface certification, TravelRepublic joins the eRevMax Channel Ecosystem, which will help them to gain access to broader inventory of hotel product. Surrey, UK based TravelRepublic has access to approximately 300,000 hotels, apartments and villas and receives over 1,000,000 visitors a week.

The new 2 way API with RateTiger will allow our hotel partners to manage their extranet accounts in a more effective and efficient way. Updating rates and inventory will be much simpler and quicker. We are looking forward to building on our successful relationships with eRevMax and reaching out to new hotels who are yet to benefit from this new connection,” said Dorota Popinska, Hotel Contracts Manager – Developing Markets, TravelRepublic.
“This integration with TravelRepublic, amongst the top five channels in UK, will certainly improve our portfolio thus offering a diverse range of distributors through the eRevMax Channel Ecosystem. This powerful and seamless integration will result in more efficient rate distribution, enhanced rate optimization and the streamlining of all connections. The data flow between the channel and hotels are immediately reflected on the TravelRepublic’s platform in real-time and give them the opportunity to improve booking conversion, offer a wide range of products and increase revenues,” said Greg Berman, COO, eRevMax International.
