In our ongoing mission to help accommodation providers optimize revenue and expand their international presence, Hotel Link is proud to announce a strategic partnership with HiBeds - a global B2B accommodation distribution platform within the LetsFly Group ecosystem. This collaboration is more than just a technical integration; it is a "gateway" for hotels within the Hotel Link network to penetrate deeper into the corporate, travel agency, and international organization segments across the world’s most promising markets.
Who is HiBeds?
HiBeds is a global B2B accommodation platform owned by LetsFly Group and operated by Aladdin Travel Holdings Limited (Hong Kong). Providing access to a vast network of over 800,000 hotels worldwide, HiBeds is designed to simplify travel distribution through a single, seamless booking system.
Unlike traditional OTAs that focus on individual travelers (B2C), HiBeds operates exclusively in the B2B segment, connecting hotels with:
- Retail Agencies and Tour Operators.
- Corporate Travel Management Companies (TMCs) and Bedbanks.
- Specifically, Loyalty Programs and Airlines - high-loyalty guest sources with long-term stay plans.
Why Should Your Hotel Connect with HiBeds?
Integrating HiBeds into your distribution strategy via Hotel Link offers strategic advantages that standard B2C channels often cannot match:
1. Access to Global Tourism "Hotspots"
HiBeds boasts powerful distribution capabilities in key markets. If your hotel aims to attract guests from the Middle East (Dubai, Riyadh, Doha), Asia (Bangkok, Tokyo, Singapore), or major cities across Europe and the Americas, HiBeds serves as your most effective direct bridge.
2. Multi-Platform Connectivity Technology
HiBeds does not stand alone; it is integrated with travel technology giants such as TravelgateX, Juniper, and Gimmonix. This ensures your hotel gains indirect visibility across a vast array of other technological networks, increasing your chances of receiving bookings from around the globe.
3. Price Integrity and Lower Cancellation Rates
As a "closed" (B2B) channel, HiBeds helps hotels maintain price integrity better than public channels. Furthermore, the corporate and airline guest segments typically have significantly lower cancellation rates compared to independent leisure travelers.
4. Secure and Flexible Payments
HiBeds supports diverse payment methods, ranging from bank transfers to Virtual Credit Cards (VCC). With VCC, hotels can ensure secure and rapid cash flow as soon as the transaction is confirmed on the system.
Smart Channel Management with Hotel Link
Operating on HiBeds is simpler than ever through the Hotel Link Channel Manager:
- Real-time Synchronization: Rates and inventory are updated instantly, eliminating the risk of overbooking.
- Flexible Cooperation Models: Hotels can choose between Commission-based or Net Rate models to align with their specific business strategies.
Conclusion
The partnership between Hotel Link and HiBeds is a strategic move that helps hotels not only boost booking volumes but also diversify their guest profiles beyond traditional channels. This is your opportunity to elevate your hotel brand and reach high-quality guest sources from a global B2B network.
