According to eTNW, Marriott International’s global hotel portfolio will be added to TripAdvisor’s Instant Booking platform.
Within the next few months, travellers shopping for hotel rooms on TripAdvisor will be able to make a booking at any of Marriott’s more than 4,200 hotels around the world without leaving the TripAdvisor site.
The agreement also signifies a strategic partnership between Marriott and TripAdvisor to introduce new customers to Marriott’s broad portfolio of 19 brands across the globe, which includes South Africa’s Protea Hotel Group.
Unlike with other intermediaries, all customer support enquiries logged through the site will be handled by Marriott representatives.
