I have a question

Do you already have a reservation?

• What is a third-party hotel vendor?

  Third-party vendors are any service or advertiser that is not directly sourced from the hotel. There are hundreds of these services. They use Global Distribution Systems (GDS) where hotels voluntarily place inventory and rates to resale. The GDS are designed to give third-party vendors full capabilities to book rooms. They include companies like Costco Travel, American Express Travel; advertisers like Hotwire.com, Getaroom.com, and many others, and also thousands of small businesses, including local, independent travel agents. Even major online travel agencies like Expedia and Priceline fulfill a significant percentage of their volume through this third-party inventory.

• How can a hotel partner more exclusively with TravelPASS Group?

  We'd love to work with you. Visit travelpassgroup.com or email us at partners@travelpassgroup.com.

• How are you able to sell hotel inventory?

  We are a leading provider of hotel accommodations with direct deals with independent and brand name hotels, wholesalers, and partnerships with the world's largest travel agencies. We receive access to hotel inventory through wholesalers as a Sabre Travel Agency, and through our partnerships with the world's largest travel agencies, such as Expedia and Priceline.

• How can I make changes to my hotel inventory listing?

  We can make some updates or corrections to our sites, but we are limited because we use the information provided by hotels to the online travel agencies. We are not able to turn off inventory for specific hotels independently. However, you could contact your Expedia or Priceline representative. Hopefully, down the road we will have more control to make changes, if needed.

• How can I add or make a change to my hotel logo on your site?

  Please send us an email at news@travelpassgroup.com.

• How can I reach support for one of my customers?

  Customer satisfaction and hotel relationships are extremely important to us. If you or a customer who we booked at your hotel needs additional support, please call 888-978-6518 (available 24/7) or email us. We will make every effort to respond promptly.

• Why does your site show multiple phone numbers?

  We prominently display our phone numbers on our sites and in our confirmation emails to help our customers reach us, if they need. Our phone numbers may rotate based on time windows to offer better customer service. All phone numbers and websites can access customer service help 24/7. Our goal is to bring the right customer to the right hotel accommodation every time.

• How do your call centers help customers and act independent from the hotel?

  We maintain 24/7 sales and support through email and phone. We employ only the friendliest agents, who are among the most trained in the travel industry. Thorough education and phone call scripts require agents to educate callers about who they are and that they do not represent the hotel. We record and perform quality checks with all of our phone agents. They sign an agreement of understanding to follow our standards. If an agent deliberately misrepresents as acting for the hotel, the agent is terminated without warning.

• How do you help hotels?

  We help hotels show up on the right search results at the right time, every time. Our proprietary technology pushes beyond conventional standards, helping hotels maximize ROI and increase sales by providing them with the information they need, including cross-channel availability and pricing insights, to achieve greater visibility and reach the right customers.

• Can customers get better deals by booking with the hotel directly?

  We help hotels reach customers they could not reach otherwise. Hotels voluntarily place their room inventory in various networks, at various prices, to sell rooms through their own channels, online travel agencies or other networks. Our goal is to have the hotel show up on the right search results to reach the right customers.

  No.

When mistakes happen as a result of technology errors, we fix them fast and fairly. Our goal is to eliminate any mistakes and to prevent them from happening again.
