Happy to announce our Expedia Integration Updates: Promotions API

BookLogic and Expedia have updated their integration which will enable hoteliers to manage promotions of the Expedia channel directly from BookLogic’s XRS interface. Thanks to this integration, hoteliers can manage a single dynamic action that affects both Expedia and the hotel’s MaxiBooking Engine, so they can have price consistency across both platforms.

Hoteliers have a great opportunity to increase reservations for their establishments and offer guests the finest possible stays. The Expedia through BookLogic Interface allows you to easily promote your room packages, giving guests a better experience than ever before. This promotion API integration will assist all hotels in marketing their rooms with various packages on Expedia through BookLogic promotion Integration, encouraging guests to return and stay with you again because your package will suit them best, boosting the strength of their brand loyalty.

BookLogic’s Expedia integration updates provide you with the following promotion packages on Expedia:

• Single Promotions:
  It enables you to offer percentage-based discounts (between 1 – 75%) for all nights of a stay
• Day-of-week Promotions:
  These are applicable for specific days of the week within the travel window (such as Mondays at 10%, Tuesdays at 12%, and so on) to help manage occupancy fluctuations.
• Multi-night Promotions:
  These promotions enable you to award for extended lengths of stay, where the Nth night can be discounted so that hoteliers can reward travelers who stay longer (such as “Stay 3 nights and get the 3rd night at 40% discount”)

Additionally, discount tags for hotels are available; these are beneficial for promoting at points of sale.

• Basic: Flexible and unrestricted promotions that define a set of qualification criteria, such as booking dates, stay dates, length of stay, and so on.

• Early booking: Promotions that are relevant to travelers who book in advance. These promotions are merchandised on Expedia brand sites with relevant early-booking promotion tags, such as “Book Early and Save X% off!”
• Same day: Promotions that offer last-minute deals for travelers who are checking in on the same day the reservation is made. These promotions are merchandised on Expedia brand sites with the relevant same-day promotion tags, such as “Tonight only Save X% off!”

Moreover, you can choose the audience or visitor type you wish to focus on.

• Member-only Deals: Promotions that apply to members only.
• Mobile-only Deals: Promotions that apply to travelers who book using a mobile device.
