WESTON, FL--(Marketwired - Aug 24, 2016) - Monaker Group (
The completion of the API and corresponding launch of the MBE allows Monaker to work towards partnering with large established Online Travel Agencies, tour operators, airline and cruise originators. Each of these groups will be able to access to Monaker's alternative lodging, timeshare and resorts inventory, in a Real-Time booking format to which they are accustomed. Monaker's Booking Engine allows real-time adjustment in inventory, commissions and service fees, which facilitates the ease of use of this platform and interface. This approach and real-time format is believed to be unique to Monaker. Most Alternative Lodging Companies still follow the request/response approach, slowing down the time it takes to receive confirmation.
"The completion of the MBE and API is an important milestone for the Company and our large inventory can now be distributed to our interested partners in the Alternative Lodging industry," said Bill Kerby, chairman and CEO of Monaker Group. "I'm very pleased with the functionality of the MBE and initial discussions with potential partners has suggested their desire to find a true 'Plug and Play' solution. We believe we can now uniquely provide this for the growing travel space. Our goal of becoming one of the larger players in the Alternative Lodging Rental industry can now occur rapidly and we should be adding several large travel industry partners in the near future."
