CCRA International is a vital
marketing and distribution channel for travel suppliers.
Partnering with CCRA will extend your sales reach to our powerful
travel agent market.
Your hotel can be promoted to travel agents throughout the world
by participating in our hotel program. Our 22,000 plus travel
agencies consider this program a benchmark that competing consortia cannot match. Rates are mapped to the GDS and bookable
via any of the four major GDS’s and the CCRAtravel.com portal.
Participating hotels will be listed in the online directory
accessible to all travel agent members. We support 10% off
corporate, Best Available Rates (BAR), discounts off BAR, and Last
Room Availability.
Our online hotel booking portal provides travel
agent members the most attractive inventory of hotels in one
convenient place. Our booking portal also serves as a means for
securing reservations for those agents that don’t have access to
the GDS. All hotels and all rate types are accessible,
but agents can easily sort to see CCRA negotiated rate hotels
exclusively. The portal is exclusive to CCRA agent members and is
password protected.
