17 hours ago 1

From dynamic sourcing to commission automation, RateHawk's agent-first platform is solving the pain points of hotel booking in 2025.

Why Hotel Booking Is Still Broken for Travel Advisors

Despite technological advances, travel advisors continue to face fragmented systems, time-consuming rate comparisons and inconsistent support when booking accommodations. As the summer travel rush approaches, advisors need more than just another booking tool, they need a comprehensive solution that addresses their specific challenges.

Smart Technology Meets Human Support

RateHawk stands out with its powerful aggregator model, providing access to top global wholesalers, DMCs and direct hotel contracts in one streamlined platform. With connections to 320-plus global suppliers including 81 DMCs, travel professionals gain access to 2.7 million accommodation options across 220 countries. What truly sets RateHawk apart is its round-the-clock customer support designed specifically for advisors, not just travelers, ensuring professional assistance whenever needed.

Commission, Payment & Invoicing Made Simple

For smaller agencies and independent contractors who can't afford administrative delays, RateHawk delivers features that simplify the financial aspects of booking. The platform offers flexible commission structures that can be customized for every booking without limits, multiple payment options including credit card, wire or PayPal and the innovative Pay By Link feature that allows agents to send payment links directly to clients.

Real-Time Inventory + Competitive Pricing

RateHawk's technology pulls from multiple sources to provide consistently competitive rates across destinations. With 130,000-plus direct hotel contracts and partnerships with trusted agencies worldwide, the platform helps advisors secure rooms faster, especially in high-demand summer hotspots. Their rewarding loyalty program allows agents to earn points for every booking, which can be used to pay for up to 100% of reservation costs.

Built for Agents, Not Consumers

Unlike consumer-focused platforms, RateHawk provides tools specifically designed for travel professionals. The Hotel Selections tool allows advisors to create appealing accommodation quotes tailored to their clients' needs. A user-friendly mobile app ensures access to main functions on the go, while seamless API integration options are available with clear documentation and dedicated support. Additionally, every client receives an onboarding sales manager, personal account manager and hotel pre-check service to verify bookings before client arrival.

Travel advisors benefit from RateHawk's extensive inventory of not just accommodations but also transfers, available in more than 165 countries. The platform also delivers competitive B2B rates in top destinations such as Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico and North America.

As the travel industry continues evolving, RateHawk demonstrates its commitment to long-term relationships with the travel advisor community through ongoing improvements and advisor-centric features.
