Allmytour, an AI-based global bedbank solution company, announced on the 12th that it has signed a partnership with Rakuten Travel Xchange, a subsidiary of Japan's Rakuten Group, Inc., to link accommodations in both countries.
Rakuten Travel Exchange is a global accommodation wholesaler under the global internet services company Rakuten Group, providing travel tech solutions based on its global inventory of hotels and vacation rentals.
Through this agreement, AllmyTour plans to secure a stable supply of accommodations in Japan while also promoting the distribution of its domestically contracted accommodations in Japan. The company explained that this strategy aims to address the growing demand for travel to Japan and Korea, strengthening the platform's accommodation selection and price competitiveness, and supporting the expansion of overseas markets for the approximately 50,000 accommodation operators in Korea.
The two companies will establish a real-time API connection between Rakuten Travel Exchange's accommodation inventory and the AllMyTour system. Rakuten Travel Exchange boasts over 700,000 hotels and vacation rentals worldwide, of which approximately 20,000 hotels and ryokans in Japan will be available through AllMyTour.com.
Accordingly, AllMyTour.com users will be able to check rates, inventory, and reservation information for Japanese accommodations in real time. Through a structure that minimizes intermediaries, members of the Awesome Membership program will be offered benefits in the form of secret special prices. The company expects this to strengthen price competitiveness across all Japanese accommodations and expand the perceived discount range.
Additionally, AllmyTour has developed a system that instantly checks availability by applying AI-based room mapping and real-time inventory integration technology. This will allow users to select the optimal accommodation within the platform without the need for complex price comparisons.
Anna Tsujihata, head of sales for Rakuten Travel Exchange Asia Pacific, explained that this agreement is a collaboration based on the company's nationwide accommodation network and distribution technology capabilities in Japan.
All My Tour co-CEO Jeong Hyeon-il announced that the company will connect Korea-Japan travel demand and enhance user benefits through real-time API integration.
