No, you don't need to work with a connectivity provider or have a connectivity solution in place to effectively list your property with Expedia Group. However, having worked with over a million properties globally, we know manually managing your inventory can take up a lot of time. A connectivity channel provider creates a two-way flow of information between your systems and ours, so reservations, rates and availability update automatically. Displaying accurate inventory maximizes the impact of your OTA listing and reduces the risk of overbooking.
