Danish hotel OTA integrates with eRevMax for seamless connectivity

TouristOnline, one of the largest hotel online booking providers in Denmark has completed 2-way XML interface with eRevMax to offer robust connectivity to its growing base of customers. The integration will help accommodation providers connected to the channel use eRevMax’s online distribution platforms, RateTiger & Connect, for updating inventory availability and room rates in real-time helping them control pricing strategies and optimize their revenue. TouristOnline will also benefit from eRevMax’s Reservation Delivery service, which facilitates automatic transfer of reservations data booked through their various hotel booking portals like TouristOnline.dk, Hotel.dk, visitdenmark.com directly to the hotel management systems (CRS/PMS).

Following the 2-way XML interface certification with eRevMax, TouristOnline joins the eRevMax Channel Ecosystem, whereby all hotel booking sites within the group gain access to broader inventory of hotel product, will see improved booking conversion on existing accounts and expects to realize increased revenues as part of its growth plans across Europe. Denmark is one of the most matured online travel markets, with online leisure/unmanaged business travel bookings comprising more than half of the total business. TouristOnline is a major online accommodation provider in Denmark offering 350,000 hotels as well as more than 50,000 holiday homes in Europe.

"We are glad to announce our partnership with eRevMax. RateTiger is the leading Channel Manager for our markets, and our partnership will help us to grow our hotel network both in Scandinavia and in Europe.
