Travel management platform TravelPerk has partnered to provide access to more than 8 million listings in Airbnb's inventory on its platform, the company announced.
With managed access to the Airbnb inventory, travelers booking Airbnb properties via TravelPerk will get dedicated Airbnb booking management support and a dedicated support line provided by TravelPerk for "enhanced customer service," according to TravelPerk president and COO Jean-Christophe Taunay-Bucalo. "Travelers have diverse needs, and to stay ahead of the competition, we must continue to grow our platform and provide seamless access to the widest and most relevant accommodation options, including top-tier inventory that meets their business travel requirements," he said.
The partnership in particular will target clients seeking long-term lodging and "unique homestay options at various price points and with valuable amenities and home comforts for remote work," Taunay-Bucalo said in a blog post. The access also will strengthen TravelPerk's MICE and group bookings offerings, with the capability to find venues that can accommodate hybrid workforces meeting together, he said.
