Starting later this summer, travelers shopping for hotel rooms on TripAdvisor will be able to conveniently make a booking at any of Marriott’s more than 4,200 hotels around the world without leaving the TripAdvisor site experience thanks to a partnership with the international hotel company.
As part of the Marriott and TripAdvisor partnership, Marriott’s global hotel portfolio will be added to the TripAdvisor Instant Booking platform.
TripAdvisor first launched its Instant Booking platform to U.S. consumers in June 2014, with a gradual roll out to other international markets expected over time. The platform provides a more efficient hotel booking experience for travelers.
With Instant Booking, travelers may simply click on the “Book on TripAdvisor” button to initiate a reservation. TripAdvisor reminds consumers throughout the process that their booking is powered by Marriott and provides the traveler with links and phone numbers to contact the hotel’s customer service associates directly. Unlike with other intermediaries, all customer support inquiries will be handled by Marriott representatives.
