As omnichannel distribution in the travel industry becomes increasingly part of the new world order, it is critical for large enterprises to keep a solid grasp on customers and maintain reach across travel sites and channels.

With more opportunities for partnerships in the digital arena, key players like major hotel chains must create affiliate relationships that are not only mutually beneficial, but also offer unique value to the customer.

As a result, many businesses are opening their vast data sets to a variety of partners using APIs to parse and select data relevant to their user base.

Coupled with API management, these businesses can offer a dynamic self-service partner portal, enabling partners to create customized experience for travelers shopping on general or niche travel booking sites.
