Serviced apartment provider YAYS Group has signed a deal with Katanox to streamline its distribution to the corporate travel market.
Katanox, a travel accommodation distribution and fintech platform, will connect YAYS' apartment inventory directly to travel agencies and travel management companies.
According to Katanox, although YAYS does have GDS and other distribution channel agreements, TMCs and their customers can now book YAYS content through its platform.
Lisanne Doensen, head of commerce, YAYS Group said: “This partnership
allows us to have complete control and transparency in offering our
inventory to travel agents and TMCs.”
YAYS Group manages 16 properties in Amsterdam, The Hague, Paris, and Antwerp and is set to expand to Madrid and Berlin.
Katanox is growing its supply of short and long-term apartments, which it says is in increasing demand among business travellers.
Mendel Senf, co-founder, Katanox said: “This deal with YAYS Group is the latest in our efforts to bring both short and long stay apartment accommodation to travel management companies, which is quickly becoming a
preferred way of travelling for business travellers.”
