TripAdvisor API - Increase Your Direct Booking

TripAdvisor, the world’s biggest travel website, the reservation platform enables travellers to unleash the full potential of every trip. With 702 million reviews and opinions covering the world’s largest selection of travel listings worldwide. It permits developers to gain dynamic access to up-to-date rating content and select travel websites. This Application programming interface is a single purpose API, with a RESTful architecture. The TripAdvisor Application programming interface content is not publicly available and is only for licensed partners.

TripAdvisor’s efforts seem to be working. At least, well enough for hundreds of millions of users to trust it when making travel decisions. And therefore, for establishments in the hospitality industry to consider them the crucial platform for reputation management. For them, TripAdvisor signifies a treasure trove of publicly available data that they can analyze and use to improve their services, reputation and therefore maximize their revenue.

Main benefits of getting TripAdvisor’s data are:

• Better insights into customer desires, needs, and expectations

• Getting ideas for improvement

• Analyzing the success of the competition

• Being able to develop a good, data-driven strategy for growth

• Getting a clearer picture of target audiences and growing from past mistakes

Why Choose Tripadvisor API?

TripAdvisor grants free, up-to-date business ratings to official tourism websites and a limited number of other approved partners through its content API. TripAdvisor is a robust and exciting way for hotels, and B&Bs to compete for bookings on the world’s largest travel site.
 
TripAdvisor permits accommodation owners to generate new business by bringing visitors who are ready to book directly to their website’s booking page. Connectivity partners are B2B technology solution providers to the Hotel and Hospitality Industry. These include Central Reservation Systems, Property Management Systems, Channel Managers and Internet Booking Engines.

Ease of Use: TripAdvisor will provide fast and updated information about the travel places, available airlines, hotels, and cars and that only accessible for authorized and licensed users.

API Features: The new API will allow us to break down taxes, fees and base rates enabling us to display the most compelling price for each market. Upgrading to the new API will help your hotel partners stay competitive and attract bookings from travelers looking for the lowest price.

The TripAdvisor integrated the hotel and booking availability calls by adding parameters that specify requirements for the client’s response. This will grant them to include room and rate features such as cancellation and refund policies, bed configuration and amenities earlier in the booking flow, which can motivate potential guests to book with their hotel partners over competitors. 

Once it gained a dominant share of the market, the number of fake reviews skyrocketed, resulting in multiple court cases around the world. But instead of taking measures to verify and guarantee the reliability of the reviews, they simply changed the “trust” slogan to “the biggest” and began making money as a reservation platform, charging companies for preferential visibility, acquiring the booking engines like Viator to profit from the tours they supposedly recommend without bias, and pressuring companies to give up 20–30% of their sales in commissions for added “access to traffic”.
