FAQ

About Hotel Direct Access

Q1. What is Hotel Direct Access?

Hotel Direct Access is a hotel connectivity solution developed by DIGITRIPS Tech. It enables travel professionals to distribute their direct hotel contracts (negotiated rates and inventory) in real time through a single API connected to hotels’ channel managers, CRSs, and PMSs.

DIGITRIPS Tech handles the integration, configuration, and maintenance of connections.

Q2. Who is Hotel Direct Access intended for?

This solution is designed for professionals who negotiate directly with hotels or hotel chains: tour operators, online travel agencies, agency networks, DMCs, and travel distributors. It’s useful whenever you manage multiple direct contracts and manually updating them becomes a burden.

Q3. What is the difference between a direct hotel contract and a bedbank listing?

A direct contract is negotiated between you and the hotel: you get rates and terms tailored specifically to you. A bedbank (or hotel wholesaler) resells inventory that it has contracted directly from numerous hotels.

Hotel Direct Access manages your direct contracts; to connect bedbanks and other third-party providers, DIGITRIPS Tech offers Travelplugz. Both are included in the Hotel Connectivity Suite.

Connectivity and Technology

Q4. What is a Channel Manager, a CRS, or a PMS?

These are the systems that hotels use to manage their distribution:

  • PMS (Property Management System): hotel management software (rooms, reservations, billing).
  • CRS (Central Reservation System): the central reservation system, often used by hotel chains.
  • Channel Manager: the tool that distributes rates and availability to various sales channels.

Hotel Direct Access connects to these systems to retrieve your negotiated rates directly from the source.

Q5. Which channel managers and CRSs is Hotel Direct Access compatible with?

Hotel Direct Access is connected to numerous channel managers, CRSs, and PMSs, including SiteMinder, SynXis, D-EDGE, TravelClick, RateTiger, YieldPlanet, Vertical Booking, RoomCloud, Octorate, and Reservit. We continue to expand this list based on our customers' needs.

Additional fees may apply to certain connections, and some are currently being rolled out: please contact us to check the compatibility of your hotels.

Q6. Are rates and availability updated in real time?

Yes. Negotiated rates and inventory are synchronized in real time with the hotel's systems. Your customers see actual prices and availability, which minimizes errors and booking rejections.

Q7. Do we need to make any technical changes on our end?

Very little. You only need to integrate with the Hotel Direct Access API once. After that, the DIGITRIPS Tech teams handle connecting each new hotel or chain, without any additional development required on your part.

Setup

Q8. How do I connect a new hotel?

In 4 steps: 1) You sign an agreement with the hotel or chain; 2) You send us a connection request; 3) We configure and synchronize the accommodations; 4) You approve rates and availability, and then we activate the connection in production.

Q9. How long does it take to establish a connection?

The timeline depends primarily on the hotel and its connectivity system (Channel Manager, CRS, or PMS). Your DIGITRIPS Tech representative will provide you with a schedule as soon as you request the connection and will monitor each step until the system goes live.

Q10. Who is responsible for maintaining the connections?

DIGITRIPS Tech. Our teams handle connection maintenance and day-to-day monitoring, with a dedicated point of contact. Your technical teams can focus on your own projects.

Business Model

Q11. How is Hotel Direct Access billed?

The pricing model is simple, predictable, and aligned with your performance. It combines a setup fee (Channel Manager/CRS integration, configuration, testing, and dedicated onboarding), a monthly subscription, and fees based on transaction volume, capped per account. Contact us for a proposal tailored to your volume.

Q12. Is there a bonus based on sales volume?

Yes. An annual performance bonus rewards your growth, with three tiers starting at an annual volume of one million euros. The better you perform, the more benefits you receive.

Q13. Can Hotel Direct Access be combined with other DIGITRIPS Tech solutions?

Yes, each module can be activated independently or combined with others. Hotel Direct Access partners with Travelplugz as part of the Hotel Connectivity Suite and integrates natively with Blue VCC to automate hotel payments via virtual cards.
