Serko partners with Booking.com broadening hotel inventory
Auckland, New Zealand. 3 August 2015 – Serko Ltd. (SKO.NZ) A leader in online travel booking and expense management for business, announced today that it has partnered with
Booking.com, the world’s number one accommodation site, to give Serko Online users access to the largest online hotel
room resource.
The partnership will add an extensive range of Australasian properties from Booking.com’s inventory of 600,000
properties worldwide. Booking.com guarantees the best price for any type of property – from small independents to five
star luxury accommodation.
Booking.com has a large range of inventory across the regional areas of Australasia, which makes it particularly
valuable to Serko Online customers that have accommodation requirements outside of the major cities. Unlike other online
travel agents, most of Booking.com’s inventory is ‘pay when you stay’ and incurs no cancellation fees, which means it is
fully aligned with the way that corporates prefer to book and pay for accommodation.
Darrin Grafton, Serko’s chief executive officer, says “By becoming the aggregator of the aggregators we remove the need
for corporate accommodation bookers to leave Serko Online to access the hotel content that we know they want. By adding
the Booking.com inventory to Serko Online we’ve got comprehensive coverage not just in Australia and New Zealand, but
also across Asia and into India.”
The Booking.com hotel inventory is expected to become available to Serko Online customers later in 2015.
