Freetobook is TripConnect Instant Booking’s First Approved Partner – Worldwide first in technology.
Press release (September 15 2014 – Glasgow)
Freetobook, one of the UK’s leading travel technology companies, announced today that it is the first Internet Booking Engine to be a fully approved and certified partner for the upcoming TripConnect instant booking feature from TripAdvisor.
TripConnect instant booking is being developed to increase direct bookings for independent hotels and scheduled to launch officially later this year. This instant booking will enable accommodation owners worldwide to leverage approved connectivity partners, such as Freetobook, to update rates and availability and take bookings directly into their online diary.
The TripConnect instant booking API has been approved and tested and Freetobook will enrol a select few customers in a live beta test ahead of the full launch when the feature will be available to the global independent hotel sector.
“Its exciting to be at the forefront of this new development. We are looking forward to getting our customers’ feedback in the first instance before TripConnect instant booking is rolled out globally,” says freetobook’s Director Iain Stewart. “

I already subscribe to TripConnect. Now that Freetobook is handling TripConnect do I need to do anything to switch?

We would be happy to involve you but TripAdvisor have chosen a handful of testers a few weeks ago. Thanks for the kind offer.
I’d love to be involved in this. Please can I be one of your guinea pigs?
