    What are the main benefits for hotels to distribute on iOL X?

    iOL X enables hotels to connect directly to thousands of demand partners (tour operators, DMCs, travel agents & B2B travel buyers). The main benefits include: TRANSPARENCY: iOL X shares the IATA number/profile of every demand partner that books your rooms. NO MARK-UP: iOL X does not apply a mark-up on the rates received - buyers will receive your as-is net rate along with the RRP. EASY ACCOUNTING: Receive a uniquely generated virtual credit card (VCC) for the net rate of every booking. No lengthy accounting or payment processes involved! FLEXIBILITY: Choose which partners you want to connect to directly (to avoid CRS & CM queues) and let iOL X handle your long tail distribution, whilst providing you with downstream insight. iOL X is your one-stop partner for B2B connectivity and distribution. EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION Save time and money with efficient rate plan set up and distribution. Make rate plan changes with ease and eliminate duplication of efforts across partners.

    How does iOL X protect hotels against rate parity violations?

    iOL X will always display the RRP along with the net rate for all rooms sold. Demand partners on iOL are strictly vetted for their commitment to ethical business. Any violations of our terms will result in an immediate fine for the buyer along with a lifetime ban from iOL X.

    How do hotels receive payments through iOL X?

    All bookings on iOL X will be accompanied with a uniquely generated virtual credit card for the net amount. With iOL X there are no complicated payment processes or reconciliations.
