Nexus Travel Technologies is the market leader in closed user group distribution and booking of hotel rooms for airline crew and passengers, emergency housing and workforce lodging. Its DCHub technology platform connects companies such as CMAC Group with hotel brands across the globe, providing access to private negotiated rates and enabling businesses to add further value to the services they offer to their clients. Nexus partners have transacted over 9 million room nights equating to over $1.3 billion of booked rooms.
Nexus directly connects businesses with over 85,000 properties via partnerships with brands including Best Western, Choice, Hilton, Hyatt and IHG, and many other brands via connectivity to DHISCO, Pegasus and Sabre SynXis. Its platform allows companies to see live room availability in seconds across multiple properties within an area, significantly improving efficiencies for businesses to make time-sensitive room purchases, revolutionising the booking experience across the B2B travel industry.
The strategic partnership provides both CMAC and Nexus’ hotel brand partners with opportunities for growth.
