Can I add a new travel supplier to my booking website without replacing the whole system?

Yes, in many cases a new travel supplier can be added without replacing your whole booking system. The supplier must offer a suitable connection that allows your portal to search its products, show availability and complete bookings. The exact services available will depend on what the supplier supports.

Before the connection is added, it is important to check which booking steps are covered. Some suppliers provide live prices, booking confirmation, changes and cancellation, while others offer only part of this process. Your team may still need to handle certain requests directly with the supplier if they are not available through the connection.

The new supplier also needs to fit your existing sales setup. This includes how markups are applied, which customers can see the content, what traveller details are required and how booking records reach your back office. Some changes may be included in your plan, while a new or unusual supplier connection may need separate work.

Ask the supplier for its current connection documents and a clear list of the services it supports, then check with your travel technology provider whether it can be added to your present portal and which booking steps will remain manual.
