Travelport has announced that since launching its Rooms and More booking engine last summer, it has tripled the number of hotels registered on the system.

Rooms and More now includes the hotel aggregators Hotelzon and Tourico, bringing the total number of hotels in its booking database to 340,000.

Niklas Andreen, GVP hospitality and partner marketing, Travelport, said: “The case for developing Travelport Rooms and More was a strong one as it complements our GDS hotel offering and benefits everyone in the supply chain.

“Importantly, it negates the need for leisure travel agents to search for hotel offers on multiple websites, instead allowing them to access and book commissionable accommodation offers through one quick and easy process. With agents in over 70 countries now using it, we are also offering leisure hotel suppliers an additional platform through which to market their content.”

Hotelzon represents 37,000 hotels which are exclusive to its booking system, while Tourico boasts a worldwide network of 37,000 properties in 4,500 destinations.

Jani Kaskinen, CEO of Hotelzon, said: “We are delighted to be expanding our existing relationship with Travelport by joining Rooms and More and reaching out to a wider corporate and leisure audience, making our competitive rates and exclusive properties available to more travel agents across the globe.”
