Property Management Software Partnerships

Connect your vacation rental software or channel manager to the world’s largest travel community

Premium Partners

To become a premier partner, the vacation rental software must be integrated with our Content API, Reservation Export API and our Real Time Rates & Availability API. This integration allows for a two-way calendar sync between Tripadvisor and the software. Property managers using premier-level vacation rental softwares will can expect that the traveler will see the correct rates and availability at time of booking – without the need to edit booking requests. Premier-partners also provide the property managers the best environment for enabling Instant Book.

Preferred Partners

To become a preferred partner, the vacation rental software must be integrated with our Content API and our Reservation Export API. This integration allows for a two-way calendar sync between Tripadvisor and the software. Property managers using preferred-level vacation rental softwares benefit from the automation of reservation management.
