DHISCO Partners with Chinese Travel Distributor to Expand Asian Reach

DHISCO, a hospitality distribution company, announced a partnership with CHINAonline that will dramatically expand its reach into the world’s largest and fastest growing outbound tourism market.

Based in Shanghai, CHINAonline is China’s original online travel distribution platform, with direct connections to more than 60 of the country’s leading travel websites, wholesalers and tour operators.

The new partnership links DHISCO hotel suppliers to the major travel distribution sellers in China, providing them with both multilingual content and real-time information on rates and inventory.

According to the China National Tourism Administration, China ranked first in the world for outbound tourism in the first half of 2017. And, with fewer than 10 percent of Chinese citizens currently holding passports, those numbers are expected to continue to grow.

CHINAonline said the agreement dramatically expands the inventory CHINAonline can offer its distribution partners, giving Chinese travel sellers and consumers access to natural language content and real-time rate and availability information from DHISCO’s more than 514,000 hotel partners around the world.
