Navan expands booking.com integration for business travel inventory

Navan (NASDAQ: NAVN) announced an enhanced direct connection with Booking.com to expand lodging inventory and provide additional savings for business travelers through an improved API integration.

The updated integration gives business travelers access to more properties directly through Navan's platform, particularly benefiting destinations where Booking.com has extensive reach. Travel managers can ensure compliant accommodations remain available while travelers gain more lodging options.

The partnership includes access to closed-user group pricing featuring loyalty rates, mobile rates, and seasonal discounts. These can be combined with Booking.com's mobile discounts for additional savings. The connection also streamlines payment processing to reduce booking confirmation issues.

"This new connection with Booking.com isn't just about adding more rooms to Navan's already expansive inventory; it's about adding more value to every business trip for every company with discounts and perks on eligible stays," said Dane Molter, SVP of Navan Group Travel Marketplace.

Booking.com's API supports potential future features including "work-friendly" tags for non-hotel properties to help business travelers identify suitable accommodations.

"Through our partnership with Navan, we're expanding business travelers' choices by giving them access to our expansive inventory of work-friendly hotels and homes," said Thibaut Leroux, Director of Commercial Partnerships at Booking.com.

Navan operates as a business travel, payments, and expense management platform. Booking.com is part of Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG).
