RateGain Recognised as Expedia Group 2026 Elite Connectivity Partner
The Elite Connectivity Partner designation is awarded to a select group of providers that demonstrate excellence in connectivity performance, technical reliability and the ability to help lodging partners drive measurable growth across the Expedia marketplace. Maintaining the status for four consecutive years demonstrates the strength and consistency of RateGain's connectivity infrastructure in powering real-time hotel distribution at global scale.
To meet increasing marketplace dynamism, RateGain has continued to invest in AI-led innovations that strengthen connectivity performance. One advancement is Agentic availability, rates and inventory management engine (Agentic ARI), a next-generation system designed to autonomously optimise distribution updates by filtering redundant data and prioritising real-time changes. By improving the speed and precision of updates, these capabilities help hotels maintain rate accuracy, improve responsiveness and deliver more reliable booking experiences across demand channels.
RateGain's deep integration with Expedia enables lodging partners to deliver faster, more accurate rates and availability across 200+ global travel sites and 70,000+ distribution partners, expanding reach and unlocking stronger revenue opportunities worldwide. The company connects 200,000+ properties to 700+ demand partners and processes 231+ bn ARI updates annually, enabling hotels to operate with greater agility and efficiency across global distribution channels. Company leadership said the recognition reflects momentum in the relationship with Expedia and the ongoing focus on high-performance connectivity at scale, supported by continued investment in AI-led capabilities to help hoteliers capture demand more efficiently while delivering a consistent guest experience.
