What is a travel supplier API?

A travel supplier API is an interface provided by bed banks, aggregators, or direct hotel suppliers that allows OTAs and travel businesses to access hotel inventory, rates, and availability programmatically. Examples include Hotelbeds, RateHawk, Amadeus, and 500+ others.

What is a bed bank in travel?

A bed bank is a wholesale travel supplier that buys hotel rooms in bulk and resells them to OTAs, travel agents, and tour operators through an API. Top bed banks include Hotelbeds, DOTW, Restel, and Miki.

How do I choose the right travel supplier for my OTA?

Choosing the right travel supplier depends on your target regions, hotel tiers, rate flexibility needs, and technical integration requirements. Supperbb analyses 21 criteria across 500+ global suppliers and gives you a ranked shortlist powered by Vervotech mapping data.

What is the difference between a direct supplier and an aggregator?

A direct supplier gives you access to their own hotel inventory directly. An aggregator connects you to inventory from multiple suppliers through a single API. Most OTAs use a mix of both depending on region and volume.
