No single hotel supplier wins everywhere. The right inventory mix, often several suppliers, is the difference between competitive rates and lost bookings. Evaluating them one by one is slow. This directory puts the practical picture in one place: who is strong in which region, what type of supplier they are, and how to connect them all through a single API.

frequently asked questions
Q1: What is a hotel bedbank?
A wholesaler that contracts room inventory from hotels and redistributes it to OTAs and agencies at net rates, usually through an API. Examples include Hotelbeds, RateHawk, WebBeds and DidaTravel.
Q2: How many hotel suppliers does an OTA need?
Most need several per region, since no supplier leads everywhere. Concentration is also a risk: with roughly two-thirds of hotel-API revenue flowing through five suppliers, seven or more active connections per region is a sensible target.
Q3: What is the difference between a bedbank, a GDS and a DMC?
A bedbank aggregates contracted wholesale inventory, a GDS distributes chain and corporate content across the global travel trade, and a DMC offers local depth in specific destinations.
