New Delhi, Jan 15: 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.
Volt by TravClan: Powering the World’s Travel Businesses 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.
Driving Efficiency and Reach Through Seamless API Connectivity 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 integration delivers:
- Frictionless connectivity ensuring fast response times
- Diverse inventory spanning India, Southeast Asia and the Middle East
- Best post booking support for reliable operations
- Every Volt booking is reconfirmed for a frictionless check-in experience and fully covered under TravClan’s Booking Guarantee.
Expanding the Global B2B Travel Network 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.”
Looking Ahead As travel apps adopt AI-driven personalization, Volt plays a foundational role in powering smarter experiences. By integrating Volt APIs, platforms can:
- Suggest smart itineraries combining hotels, flights, and sightseeing.
- Personalize recommendations based on traveler preferences and booking behavior.
- Optimize pricing and availability in real time, enhancing conversions.
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.
