Marina Bay Sands (MBS) recently announced an expanded partnership with Trip Affiliates Network (TAN) to enhance its global direct bookings and connectivity.
This collaboration integrates MBS into TAN's global network of travel wholesalers, operators, and destination management companies, enabling real-time B2B connectivity via MBS's distribution platforms.
The alliance aims to broaden MBS's direct bookings across various global travel businesses and strengthen connectivity with participating agencies and B2B travel operators within TAN's ecosystem.
TA Network's platform streamlines direct connectivity, automating inventory management processes for hotels and their traditional offline contractors. This eliminates manual updates of booking inventory, reducing overbooking or under-booking issues and human errors in maintaining hotel contracts. Additionally, TA Network offers digital payment solutions, minimising cross-border and FX fees for global contractors.
Josef Foo, TA Network's Managing Partner, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, anticipating expanded direct booking partnerships for MBS with traditional channel operators, B2B agents, and corporates.
