After that, Expedia Group’s technology reaches into the property’s connectivity software to transfer the data needed to set up the hotel, Expedia Group validates the data and the property goes live in less than 24 hours, per the release.

Once live, properties can reach travelers through Expedia Group’s consumer brands, which include Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo; its B2B distribution network, which includes 75,000 partners and 200,000 travel advisors; and its emerging artificial intelligence-powered travel partnerships, according to the release.

“Adding a new source of demand should not add a new layer of work,” Chris Hodges , vice president of global connectivity and partner solutions at Expedia Group, said in the release.
