A key component of the partnership is the API integration between Trip.com Group and Resorts World Genting’s hotel and theme park booking systems. This enables real-time inventory updates, instant booking confirmations, and rate parity. Trip.com users will have access to exclusive offers and improved convenience when booking visits to the resort.
