RateHawk, a B2B platform for booking accommodation, flights and transport services, has reached its 10th year of operations. The company is focusing on expanding its role as an API supplier while continuing to develop tools for travel professionals.
The platform provides access to 3.2 million accommodation options from more than 250,000 directly contracted hotels and 350 suppliers, alongside flights from over 400 airlines and transfers in more than 150 countries. In 2025, annual net booking value rose by 40 per cent compared with 2024, while bookings increased by 43 per cent globally.
The company is developing its API segment alongside its retail platform. In 2025, bookings per API partner increased by 40 per cent year on year. The company is expanding supply and allocating resources within local teams to support API development and partnerships.
In its retail segment, RateHawk is continuing work on its multi-product platform, focusing on areas such as personalisation, flexibility, automation and payment options. Plans include the introduction of additional products, including insurance, and further development of tools aimed at improving booking conversion.
The company is also investing in AI-based systems, including search and recommendation tools. In customer support, automated systems handle around 50 per cent of routine requests. AI is also used in areas such as supply consolidation, content localisation and booking management.
Felix Shpilman, president and CEO of Emerging Travel Group, shared: “We took a risk and applied our original B2C background to building a B2B platform with robust technology, extensive supply, and excellent UX. That approach has proven successful: today, more than 110,000 travel professionals across 120+ markets use RateHawk, including major OTAs, travel tech platforms, tour operators, and retail agencies. Their trust confirms that we are on the right path forward”.
“As quality standards rise and workflows become faster, many companies are re-evaluating the tools and supply chains they use. They want higher efficiency, reliability, and a more accurate rate matching. Thanks to advanced technology solutions and 250,000 direct contracts and 350 suppliers, including over 100 DMCs, RateHawk’s API offers exactly what industry stakeholders are looking for,” said Astrid Kastberg, managing director of RateHawk.
She added that the company would continue expanding its approach, including launching localised infrastructure and payment solutions, investing in local talent, introducing new products starting with insurance, and further developing features such as its Quotes (Selection Tools) to support booking conversions through automated offer templates.
