Hotelbeds-Bello, Colombia

Hotelbeds is the world´s leading bedbank.

The company’s proprietary technology helps providers of travel services distribute their offering to travel sellers globally via an easy-to-use, advanced technology platform that increases reach, revenue and yield for both the provider and the seller.

Operating under the Hotelbeds brand in the wholesale channel and the Bedsonline brand in the travel agents channel, the company connects over 60,000 travel intermediaries across more than 140 source markets globally with travel providers in over 185 countries representing more than 170,000 hotels, 24,000 transfer routes and 18,000 activities.

The company is headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Roiback, specialist and leader in the management of the direct channel of hotel sales, is the first tech company from Spain being directly integrated into Book on Google, the engine’s solution to make the hotel research and booking process easier for consumers. This agreement aims to benefit Roiback’s clients by providing a higher conversion rate and a lower acquisition cost, and also to achieve better performance and a higher optimization on this service. Concurrently, and with the objective of offering better solutions to a changing industry where the weight of the metasearch engines is more and more relevant, Roiback has launched Metabase Pro, a specialized solution for the efficient management of the metasearch engines, that Roiback already offered with its reservation platform but from now will also be available for clients who do not use the BackHotel from Roiback. In the Press: “The Majorcan tech company Roiback is pioneer in Spain in integrating directly with Book on Google, the reservation tool from Google”. “This functionality improves the experience of the users, as it allows to book hotel rooms quickly and easily through travel partners”. “For the hotels, it increases their conversion and profitability and allow them to be present in some markets that, otherwise, would be difficult to reach”.This position sits within our Bedbank unit.
