WanziCloud, a SaaS-based hotel wholesale platform hailing from China, has officially unveiled a significant strategic partnership with Trip Affiliates Network (TA Network), a global leader in travel technology and digital transformation based in Singapore. This collaboration is poised to usher in a new era for global hotel sourcing and booking, fundamentally changing how travel professionals access and manage hotel inventory worldwide. The alliance aims to leverage advanced technology to deliver unparalleled efficiency, competitive pricing, and expanded access to hotel resources for travel agencies and wholesalers across the globe.
At the heart of this transformative partnership is the seamless integration of WanziCloud’s innovative platform with TA Network’s robust Hotel Partner Network (HPN). This crucial integration establishes a sophisticated two-way API connectivity that spans a vast ecosystem of global supply and demand partners. The result is a dramatic improvement in the flow of real-time pricing and availability data for hotels, ensuring that travel professionals have access to the most current and accurate information at all times. This eliminates the common challenges of outdated rates and unavailable rooms, significantly streamlining the entire booking process.
Beyond enhanced data flow, the partnership brings a suite of advanced features designed to optimize hotel procurement and distribution. This includes automated contract lifecycle management for hotel procurement, which promises to reduce manual effort and minimize errors. Furthermore, the collaboration introduces flexible multi-currency settlement options, encompassing virtual cards and digital wallets, to facilitate seamless international transactions. The system also boasts scalable dynamic rate caching and distribution capabilities, ensuring that hotel content is delivered efficiently and accurately, even amidst fluctuating demand. A unified analytics dashboard will provide partners with valuable insights for performance tracking, empowering them to refine their strategies and maximize profitability in a highly competitive market.
Dong Shen, General Manager of WanziCloud, underscored the company’s commitment to revolutionizing global hotel sourcing through intelligent SaaS infrastructure, emphasizing that the integration with Trip Affiliates Network accelerates their ability to deliver real-time pricing and streamlined booking flows. Thomas Wong, Regional HQ Director – Partnerships & Growth at TA Network, reciprocated this enthusiasm, noting that the partnership deepens TA Network’s reach into the vital Greater China market while providing agents and wholesalers with high-speed access to live hotel content. With outbound travel from China projected to surpass 130 million travelers in 2025, this strategic alliance is exceptionally well-timed, positioning both companies to cater to the burgeoning needs of large-scale travel agencies and smaller wholesalers alike and enabling them to thrive in the increasingly digital and interconnected global travel landscape.
