Germany: Serviced apartment provider Acomodeo has announced a strategic partnership with Booking.com to expand its list of offerings.
Acomodeo, a digital provider of serviced apartments worldwide, has been aiming to expand its personal services and technology offerings to meet the changing demand of corporate travellers, leading the company to make the decision to partner with Booking.com.
This new partnership will allow Acomodeo to combine its current portfolio of longer-stay properties with Booking.com’s portfolio of short-stay properties on its digital platform. The combination of the two inventories will allow Acomodeo to offer a wider variety of options for the corporate travellers it serves, expanding the company from the “World of Serviced Apartments” to the “World of Corporate Accommodation.”
Xaveer Fluitman, regional director of partnerships at Booking.com, said: “As thoughts turn toward traveling again soon, we are pleased to be partnering with Acomodeo to offer their audience of business travellers a wider range of relevant accommodation options through their platform. Acomodeo is well respected within the industry for their business travel knowledge and experience with long-stay serviced apartments, which complements our diverse global inventory of accommodation options. We’re pleased to be helping even more corporate business travellers to find the stay that’s just right for them.”
The combined portfolio will meet the evolving needs and preferences of various types of corporate travellers across 206 countries and territories. Through the Booking.com properties, the platform fills the need for shorter business trips, and through the extended stay properties, which include kitchens or kitchenettes and living spaces, the platform has offerings for longer business travel as well.
Eric-Jan Krausch, CEO & founder of Acomodeo, said: “Our modular technology enables integration with existing third-party systems (e.g., Duty of Care, OBE and payment providers) to ensure a smooth and customer friendly booking process. Our own customer success team provides personal assistance for group bookings, exotic destinations, technical support, or more complex requirements. Combining long and short stay business accommodation in one single unique platform, we are following the idea to provide quality accommodation from one night up to two years. We further developed our technology and services by listening to the feedback and wishes of our clients and we are now proud to present the World of Corporate Accommodation.”
Acomodeo has been the recipient of two Serviced Apartment Awards in the past, Best Agent in 2017 and Best Service Provider in 2019.
