What is Expedia?
Expedia is one of the world's largest travel platforms and a key player in online hotel booking. The platform enables travelers to book hotels, flights, vacation packages and experiences – all in one place. Expedia is part of Expedia Group, which also owns Hotels.com, Vrbo, Trivago and several others.
With a direct integration between Expedia and Octopus PMS hotels can automatically manage their room rates, availability and reservations. This saves time, minimizes errors and significantly increases visibility on a platform that attracts both leisure and business travelers worldwide.
How can Expedia integration benefit your hotel?
Expedia is not just an OTA – it is a global sales platform. When you connect your Octopus system with Expedia, you open the door to a huge market of potential guests. Here are some of the benefits:
- Automatic price and availability management: When you update information in Octopus PMS, it syncs directly to Expedia – without any extra work.
- More bookings, fewer errors: Integration ensures that all reservations are handled in real time and recorded correctly in your system – reducing the risk of overbooking.
- Greater global reach: Expedia is used by millions of travelers, including many international guests, which can significantly increase your occupancy.
- Efficient administration: No need to switch between systems – manage your Expedia reservations, prices and offers directly in Octopus.
- Higher earnings: With access to campaign tools and targeting on Expedia, you can strategically leverage holidays, vacations, and events to boost your revenue.
