Expedia Group recognises a select group of technology providers as Elite Technology Partners โ€” its highest tier of partnership. In 2025, ZentrumHub joined that group and became the first Technology Partner in APAC to reach Expedia Hotel API $100 Million Club. This is the story of a partnership, built on the Rapid Lodging API since 2020, that delivered record-setting growth for ZentrumHub and the travel businesses it powers.

All figures and quotes are as reported in Expedia Group's published case study.

The Challenge

ZentrumHub is a trusted technology partner to Fortune 500 companies and travel businesses worldwide โ€” global travel agencies, online travel agencies, and travel management companies. To deliver on its vision of simplifying the complexities of the travel ecosystem, ZentrumHub needed:

What ZentrumHub Needed

  • Diverse supply and competitive rates to meet the needs of its varied clients
  • Performant, fast technology with collaborative and responsive integration support
  • Search, shop, book, and post-book capabilities to deliver best-in-class traveler experiences

The Solution

ZentrumHub's platform now helps clients quickly launch travel booking apps pre-integrated with 100+ sources of supply โ€” including Expedia Group inventory through the Rapid Lodging API. The integration unlocked competitive rates at over 800,000 properties across 220 countries and territories, with capabilities spanning the full booking journey:

Inventory, Rates & Content

  • Rapid Lodging API โ€” rich, flexible inventory with competitive rates and deep, structured property and room-level content with high-resolution imagery
  • Guest Review API โ€” authentic reviews from verified travelers for trusted, transparent property insights

Search, Shop & Book

  • Typeahead API โ€” faster, more accurate destination and property suggestions
  • Relevancy-ranked shopping โ€” personalized property recommendations for each client
  • Hold and Resume โ€” locks in room prices while travelers complete payment

Service-Led Post-Booking

  • Hard Change API โ€” modify bookings without cancelling the whole reservation
  • Property Message Center โ€” structured communication between properties and clients

Real-Time Operations

  • Notifications service โ€” real-time, event-driven HTTP POST notifications without polling the API
  • Lower operational overhead โ€” efficient communication, automation, and exception handling

"Driven by a commitment to simplifying travel booking, Expedia Group is leading the B2B space. Rapid Lodging API is the best in the industry, with lightning-fast speed. We've built a strong, trusted partnership with our Expedia Group team whose industry experts support ZentrumHub's business and clients across five regions."
