WESTON, FL, Jan. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — Monaker Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKGI), a technology leader in the travel and vacation rental markets, today reported that two more of its travel distribution partners have completed their integration and certification with the Monaker Booking Engine (MBE), thereby enabling them to search and instantly book from Monaker’s inventory of more than one million contracted vacation rental properties.
Based in North America, and Europe, these two latest additions are hotel and lodging consolidators. They bring the total number to seven established distributors now live, and Monaker expects several more of its twenty-four contracted distributors expected to complete their MBE integration and go live during the current month.
The MBE Application Program Interface (API) provides Monaker’s integrated travel distributors and their downstream partners with the ability to book commissionable vacation rentals within their existing reservation systems. Because the Monaker inventory bookings are instantly confirmed, rather than waiting hours or even days for property owners to respond, the vacation rental can also be seamlessly booked alongside air, car and other travel reservations as a complete package.
“As more travel distributors come on board and go live,” said Monaker CEO Bill Kerby, “we know how important it is to keep expanding the number of vacation rental properties available to their booking agents. We continue to work on expanding Monaker’s global inventory of vacation rental homes, villas, chalets, apartments, condos, resort residences, and even castles.”
