Online distribution specialist Cultuzz Digital Media has partnered with RateTiger to offer hoteliers an easier update on eBay alongside other distribution outlets.

Cultuzz, via CultBay, is the only service provider worldwide that has implemented direct bookings for hotels on eBay.

According to an official release, the agreement makes RateTiger the first channel manager able to distribute inventory and rates to eBay via the CultBay platform. eBay will become an additional channel within RateTiger to sell rooms and update rates and inventory as per the sales platform’s rules.

Dr Reinhard Vogel, Founder and CEO, Cultuzz, said, “Selling rooms on eBay offers hotels access to a unique customer base and enables hoteliers to steer guests towards low seasons and periods of low occupancy. And, the beauty of it all, bookings on eBay are prepaid and non-refundable. The channel management connection with RateTiger will make the update and management process easier and help hotels maintain better rate strategies.”

Cultuzz works with leading hoteliers on eBay including: Marriott, Renaissance, Hilton, Radisson Blu, Park Inn, Intercontinental, Choice Hotels International, Ramada Worldwide, Sol Melia, Swissotel Hotels & Resorts, Millennium.
