As part of our ongoing journey toward sustainable growth and continuous enhancement of distribution connectivity for hotels, Hotel Link is proud to announce that we have officially been recognized by Expedia Group as an Elite Connectivity Partner for 2026. This milestone is not only a significant achievement for Hotel Link, but also a recognition from one of the world’s largest online travel companies of our technological capabilities, system stability, and partner support quality, ultimately delivering tangible value to hotels connected to Expedia through our system.
Elite Connectivity Partner – The Highest Standard in Connectivity
Expedia Group’s Connectivity Partner Program is designed to comprehensively evaluate the capabilities of technology solution providers integrating with the Expedia ecosystem.
The Elite tier, the highest level within the program, is awarded to partners that excel in key performance criteria such as:
- API stability and accuracy
- Speed of rate and availability synchronization
- Low connection error rates
- Ability to fully implement new features
- Quality of hotel partner support
Achieving Elite status is more than a technical recognition. It demonstrates that Hotel Link’s system meets stringent standards and maintains strong, stable performance even within today’s increasingly complex online distribution environment.
What Does This Mean for Hotels?
For hotels, a stable OTA connection is not merely a behind-the-scenes technical factor, it directly impacts revenue, operational efficiency, and brand reputation in the marketplace.
When using Hotel Link’s Channel Manager to connect with Expedia, hotels can expect the following practical benefits:
1. Fast and Accurate Synchronization
Room rates, availability, and selling conditions are updated promptly between the hotel system and Expedia.
This significantly reduces the risk of rate discrepancies, overbookings, and incorrect information display, allowing hotels to operate with greater confidence and professionalism.
2. Reduced Daily Operational Pressure
A stable system minimizes technical errors and reduces the need for manual handling.
Front desk and sales teams can focus more on guest care, service optimization, and enhancing the guest experience, rather than resolving synchronization issues.
3. Proactive Adaptation to Expedia Updates
As an Elite partner, Hotel Link can quickly integrate and deploy new features or API updates from Expedia.
This ensures hotels experience minimal disruption when platform changes occur and remain ready to leverage the latest improvements.
Hotel Link’s Commitment for 2026
Being recognized as an Elite Connectivity Partner 2026 reflects our consistent investment in technology and system optimization over time.
However, beyond being a proud milestone, it also serves as motivation for us to continuously improve.
In the coming year, Hotel Link is committed to:
- Further enhancing system stability and processing speed
- Improving the extranet user experience for greater simplicity and clarity
- Expanding integration capabilities with advanced partner features
- Maintaining a professional, responsive support team that works closely with hotels
In an online distribution landscape that is increasingly competitive and dynamic, we believe that stability and accuracy in connectivity form the foundation for sustainable hotel growth and confident expansion.
Toward a Comprehensive Distribution Ecosystem
Expedia Group is one of the world’s largest online travel companies, operating a diverse global brand portfolio.
Achieving Elite connectivity status with Expedia not only validates our technological capability, but also reflects Hotel Link’s long-term direction: building a powerful, flexible Channel Manager system ready to meet the evolving demands of leading OTAs.
Alongside Expedia, Hotel Link continues to expand and optimize connectivity with multiple international distribution channels. Our goal is to help hotels diversify demand sources, reach new potential markets, and reduce reliance on a single channel, creating a stronger and more sustainable growth foundation.
