Add Another Route to Potential Hotel Demand.

What is the network?
A HotelConnect24 Sales Route Built Around Participating Hotels.
The HotelConnect24 Network is the platform's own distribution route for generating supported booking opportunities for participating accommodation providers.
It is designed to sit alongside the hotel's direct website and any external distribution relationships the property chooses to use.
✓
Participating hotel inventory
Supported rooms, rates and availability can form the commercial basis of network booking opportunities.
✓
HotelConnect24-generated demand
The network is intended to create an additional route through which travellers can discover and book participating properties.
✓
Connected reservation flow
Supported network bookings can return into the hotel's broader HotelConnect24 reservation environment.
✓
Separate commercial source
Network-generated business is commercially distinct from bookings made through the hotel's own direct route.

Hotel-Centred Inventory
Keep the network connected to the property's configured rooms, rates and availability.
Reservation Visibility
Supported network bookings can become part of the wider HotelConnect24 reservation workflow.
Source Context
Keep HotelConnect24-generated bookings commercially distinguishable from other booking sources.

Use the network alongside the hotel's own website and supported external relationships.
Transparent Commercial Model
HotelConnect24-generated bookings use a clearly separated network booking fee.

You Pay the Network Fee When HotelConnect24 Generates the Booking.
HotelConnect24 separates its core software model from network-generated business. The core channel-management software fee is €0, while bookings generated through the HotelConnect24 Network currently carry a 7% HotelConnect24 fee.
This is different from your own direct hotel booking route, where the current HotelConnect24 pricing model states 0% HotelConnect24 commission.

One network, hotel control
Network Distribution Should Still Begin with the Hotel's Own Inventory.
HotelConnect24 is designed around the hotel first. The network does not need a completely separate world of rooms and rates if supported inventory can already be managed within the same platform structure.
✓
Property-centred room structure
Use the accommodation products the hotel actually sells.
✓
Supported rate structure
Network opportunities use the commercial setup available to the applicable booking flow.
✓
Availability matters
Only accommodation available within the supported configuration should be offered.
✓
Reservations feed operations
Supported bookings return into the broader hotel reservation context.

Network responsibility
Network Distribution Depends on Accurate Hotel Information.
Additional reach is useful only when the room, rate and availability information behind the booking opportunity is correctly configured.
Important:
HotelConnect24 Network availability, placement, booking flows and functionality
depend on the network services available and activated for the property. Participation
does not guarantee impressions, enquiries, booking volume, occupancy or revenue.
Hotels remain responsible for maintaining accurate property information, room structure,
rates, availability, booking conditions and other applicable commercial information.
The 7% HotelConnect24 network booking fee applies to qualifying HotelConnect24-generated
bookings under the applicable current commercial terms.
HotelConnect24 Network FAQ
Common Questions About the HotelConnect24 Network.
What is the HotelConnect24 Network?
The HotelConnect24 Network is an additional HotelConnect24-operated distribution
route designed to create supported hotel discovery and booking opportunities for
participating accommodation providers.
Is the HotelConnect24 Network the same as my direct booking website?
No. Your hotel website is your own direct booking route. The HotelConnect24
Network is a separate HotelConnect24-generated booking source with its own
commercial model.
How much does a HotelConnect24 Network booking cost?
Under the current HotelConnect24 pricing model, qualifying bookings generated
through the HotelConnect24 Network carry a 7% HotelConnect24 fee. Hotels should
always review the current Pricing page and applicable partner terms.
Does HotelConnect24 charge commission on my own direct bookings?
The current HotelConnect24 pricing model states 0% HotelConnect24 commission
on bookings generated through the hotel's own direct booking route.
Do I have to stop using other distribution channels?
No. The HotelConnect24 Network is designed as an additional route. A hotel may
also use its own direct website and supported external distribution relationships
according to its commercial strategy.
Does joining the network guarantee bookings?
No. Participation does not guarantee traveller demand, visibility, occupancy,
revenue or any specific number of reservations. Booking performance depends on
factors including market demand, property appeal, pricing, availability and the
network functionality available.
Where does network availability come from?
The HotelConnect24 model is designed around supported hotel inventory configured
for the property. The exact availability behaviour depends on the services and
booking flows active for the hotel.
Will network bookings appear in HotelConnect24?
Supported network-generated reservations are designed to become part of the
hotel's wider HotelConnect24 reservation workflow. Exact operational behaviour
depends on the implementation active for the property.
Can I choose whether to participate in the network?
Network participation depends on the services, onboarding options and applicable
terms available to the property. Hotels should review the relevant configuration
and partner terms during onboarding.
Is HotelConnect24 trying to replace OTAs?
HotelConnect24 is designed to give hotels additional commercial options rather
than require one universal distribution strategy. Properties can strengthen their
own direct channel, use the HotelConnect24 Network and maintain supported external
relationships where those routes make commercial sense.
Add HotelConnect24 to Your Distribution Mix.
Keep your own direct booking route, maintain the distribution relationships that make sense for your property and add the HotelConnect24 Network as another supported path through which travellers may discover and book your hotel.
