Marriott International has appointed Traveloka as its Certified Online Travel Partner, providing travellers across Indonesia and South-east Asia with direct access to the group’s hotel inventory through the platform.
The agreement establishes direct connectivity between Marriott’s reservation system and Traveloka, providing users with real-time pricing and availability across Marriott’s portfolio of more than 10,000 properties in 146 countries and territories.
Travellers will be able to book Marriott brands ranging from luxury properties such as JW Marriott and W Hotels to premium brands including Westin and Sheraton, as well as select-service brands such as Moxy and Aloft.
The partnership comes as South-east Asia continues to record strong tourism growth. According to the companies, demand for Marriott properties on Traveloka has increased in recent months, with Indonesia among the strongest-performing markets. Popular bookings include Four Points hotels in Makassar, Surabaya, Medan and Bandung, alongside Sheraton and Marriott Hotels properties.
Marriott currently operates nearly 90 properties in Indonesia and continues to expand its presence through a development pipeline that also includes Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.
John Toomey, chief commercial officer, Asia-Pacific excluding China, Marriott International, said: “Our collaboration with Traveloka strengthens our ability to engage travellers at every stage of their journey, making discovery and booking more seamless than ever.”
Yady Guitana, chief financial officer of Traveloka, added: “When a hospitality company of Marriott’s standing chooses to expand access to its portfolio through our all-in-one travel platform, it reflects the trust the world’s leading travel brands place in Traveloka’s reach and traveller insight across South-east Asia.”
