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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
