Target travelers
When there’s a specific objective—fill last minute vacancies or encourage longer stays—target travelers with similar desires. We offer marketing programs for every need, budget and timeline, so you get the results you need.
Price with confidence
Bold pricing moves or small rate adjustments are easier with real-time market data at your fingertips. We provide simple tools that make implementing changes fast and easy.

Photos ignite the imaginations of travelers, allowing them to visualize staying with you on their next trip. We recommend including four photos per room type (including the bathroom), and one of each of the key areas (amenities) that make your property special (the common spaces, pools, dining, etc.). They don’t need to be professional photos—well-lit smartphone photos will work, but they should have a minimum resolution of 1,000 pixels. Review our photo guide for more detail.
An online travel agency (OTA) is a consumer travel website specializing in the sale of travel products, including flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, vacation rentals, activities and more.
Expedia Group operates several OTAs, including Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, Wotif and more. We additionally provide tools, capabilities and insights for our travel suppliers, helping them compete and build profitable businesses.
No, you don't need to work with a connectivity provider or have a connectivity solution in place to effectively list your property with Expedia Group. However, having worked with over a million properties globally, we know manually managing your inventory can take up a lot of time. A connectivity channel provider creates a two-way flow of information between your systems and ours, so reservations, rates and availability update automatically. Displaying accurate inventory maximizes the impact of your OTA listing and reduces the risk of overbooking.
Our easy-to-use platform, Partner Central, will be the primary location for managing reservations, loading inventory, changing rates, and keeping your listing up to date. Many partners opt to use a connectivity provider to link our systems and automatically perform daily tasks. They log in to Partner Central to leverage our more advanced tools including competitive set analysis, real-time market pricing, and other marketing programs. If you have any problems, our local teams are ready to help.
Yes. Expedia Group partners have access to a suite of tools and data insights that help you develop and execute a profitable revenue management strategy. We're constantly innovating and publishing best-practice guidance to support your success.

As an Expedia Group partner, you choose how you want to accept guest payments. Options include leveraging our secure payment processing to have travelers pay online when they book and charging an Expedia Group issued virtual credit card for payment at checkout. You can also have guests pay you directly at check-out and compensate Expedia Group.
To appeal to the broadest number of travelers, you can choose to offer both options and let the guests decide what's best for them.
Simply put, Hotel Collect allows you to accept payment directly from travelers at check out and then compensate us. Expedia Collect allows travelers to pay online when they book and at check-out, you charge us for remittance. Expedia Traveler Preference lets you accept both types of payment, allowing guests to decide what's best for them.

It isn't a problem if your property doesn't accept credit cards. We'll make sure your listing communicates how you accept payment (cash, check, credit card, etc.) so travelers are prepared when they arrive. We'll confirm with you in a call to welcome you to the Expedia Group family.
Compensation for reservations varies around the globe and we'll share the percentage for your market as part of the contracting process.
In addition to providing an easy-to-use and secure experience for travelers to book your rooms, Expedia Group invests heavily in advertising, digital marketing, and social media promotion to attract consumers from around the world to your market and individual property.
