Travelport announced that it acquired Hotelzon, a "B-to-B hotel distribution technology provider."

The deal adds "an additional 30,000 hotel properties into Travelport’s Travel Commerce Platform," many of them "European independent and small hotel chain properties that were previously unavailable," according to Travelport. The acquisition, for which terms were not announced, also includes Hotelzon's corporate booking tools and what Travelport called "best-in-class extranet capabilities that allow both travel agents and corporate travel managers to access independent hotel content, including their specially negotiated rates with these independent hotels." Travelport noted that Hotelzon, which will maintain its brand identity, handled about 1 million hotel room-night bookings in 2013.
