Volt by TravClan , a global B2B Travel API Infrastructure provider, announced
a strategic partnership with Emerging Travel Group, global travel tech
company operating travel brands RateHawk, Roundtrip and ZenHotels, to
source diverse and high-quality hotels inventory directly through Volt’s API
platform.
This collaboration marks a major milestone in Volt’s journey as a global
supplier, enabling international players to access hotel inventory across India
and Southeast Asia at competitive prices through fast, reliable APIs.
Legacy systems struggle with three critical challenges: inventory
fragmentation across dozens of disconnected suppliers, slow response times
that kill conversion on mobile devices, and duplicate content that confuses
both algorithms and human bookers.
For platforms expanding into high-growth markets like India and Southeast
Asia, these problems multiply. Regional suppliers often lack the technical
sophistication to integrate with global platforms, while global aggregators
lack the local relationships to secure competitive rates.
Through this partnership, Emerging Travel Group expands its
accommodation portfolio in Asia by leveraging Volt’s extensive directly
contracted network and robust technology infrastructure.
“We’re seeing a paradigm shift,” says Arun Bagaria, Co-Founder of TravClan.
“The old model was about accumulating suppliers. The new model is about
intelligent orchestration—connecting the right inventory to the right
platforms through infrastructure that just works.”
Volt’s approach combines two historically separate strategies: building direct
supplier relationships for better economics, and creating API infrastructure
for seamless technical integration. The company has secured direct contracts
with over 5,000 properties across Asia and the Middle East while maintaining
connectivity to 50+ global suppliers—delivering 200,000+ total
accommodation options through a single, standardized API.
Volt’s API-first platform enables global partners like Emerging Travel Group and particularly its B2B platform RateHawk to instantly access thousands of
properties with accurate mapping, real-time availability, and high-quality
content.
The collaboration reflects a new era of interconnected B2B travel — where
global aggregators and next-generation travel platforms work together to
deliver richer content, faster integrations, and superior experiences.
“TravClan brings genuine regional expertise combined with technology that
matches high standards required by our B2B partners,” notes Erik
Akhmetgaliev, regional director for APAC at RateHawk. “While we already
possess a strong inventory network of 2.9 million accommodation options,
our focus is on further expanding it by adding high-quality inventory that
converts.”
As travel apps adopt AI-driven personalization, Volt plays a foundational role
in powering smarter experiences. By integrating Volt APIs, platforms can:
The question is no longer whether API-first infrastructure will reshape B2B
travel. It’s how quickly incumbent players can adapt to a world where
connectivity, speed, and intelligence separate winners from everyone else.
