OTA Partnerships - Strategies for business growth
At Activitar, we’re all about equipping activity companies with the tools they need to shine. We’re not just partnering with Online Travel Agency (OTA) platforms – we’re doing it in a smart and strategic way.
Picture this: partnerships that ensure your connectivity is seamless. We keep our eyes peeled for the latest and greatest in OTA API improvements to make sure you get all the perks. It’s our secret sauce to give you a competitive edge and boost your conversions on the right OTA platform.
Now, let’s talk about why OTA distribution is the golden ticket to business growth in tours and activities. These platforms open up unique market access that aligns well with your marketing moves, exposing your activity company to the international market. People trust these OTAs, making them go-to spots for booking all sorts of activities. Utilizing the integration offered via Activitar is the key to reaching more folks and making your business soar.
Here’s the scoop on one of our latest achievements: we’ve successfully integrated Pricing over API from GetYourGuide. No more manual updates in the GetYourGuide backend – we’ve got it covered. Prices are always up-to-date, resulting in a streamlined process that minimizes hiccups, leading to more bookings and fewer customer complaints.
We’re all about giving you the power to update prices regularly and effortlessly. Automating the pricing game means fewer manual headaches, letting you focus on delivering top-notch experiences instead of getting bogged down in admin tasks.
Lastly, understanding the time constraints you face, we’ve introduced a dedicated resource to streamline administrative processes and assist in onboarding suppliers onto prominent distribution channels, including Viator and GetYourGuide. Megan Smuts, our Distribution Admin, is currently undergoing extensive training to ensure she is well-equipped to handle various tasks, from registration to service loading and troubleshooting.
