Expedia QuickConnect

It’s all about efficiency

Travel Tripper has partnered with Expedia® to bring our customers direct access to Expedia’s system.  We have implemented Expedia’s QuickConnect technology, linking inventory, rates, and reservations from our Central Reservation System directly to and from Expedia®.  Furthermore, if you have a PMS interface with Travel Tripper you can receive reservation and even update ARI (availability, rates, and inventory) from your PMS directly to Expedia®.  You will no longer have to manage a separate Extranet – saving time and ensuring that your Expedia® rates remain synchronized with your rates on all other channels.

A great value

Travel Tripper charges only $3 per transaction for Expedia Quick Connect.
