WebBeds has announced an expanded partnership with Archipelago Hotels, Southeast Asia's largest privately owned hotel group, to bolster marketing and distribution efforts as the latter continues its international expansion. This collaboration aims to address the complexities of global distribution by enhancing connectivity and marketing strategies.

The partnership, which has already shown measurable growth over the past six months, will now focus on marketing activation and deeper distribution connectivity. WebBeds plans to implement targeted marketing initiatives, including accelerated WebBeds Rewards points for its network of retail travel agents, premium placements across digital channels, and co-branded campaigns in key markets.

On the technology front, the partnership will enhance distribution integration with platforms like Hyperguest and Channex. This will improve rate, inventory, and content management, facilitating more seamless distribution across WebBeds' global partner network.

Brett Henry, President Asia Pacific at WebBeds, highlighted the importance of effective supply connection across multiple channels, stating, "This next phase of our partnership is focused on solving that in a practical way, by combining targeted marketing with deeper connectivity so Archipelago Hotels can scale more efficiently across markets."

Chris Legaspi, Chief Commercial Officer at Archipelago Hotels, emphasised the critical role of distribution infrastructure in supporting growth, noting, "Strengthening both marketing and technology with WebBeds allows us to improve how we connect our properties to global demand."

This strategic move underscores both companies' commitment to building a more connected and efficient distribution ecosystem to support long-term growth
