Who We Are
3
TripAlertz is a leader in the online distribution of hotels and resorts. We
specialize in the non-public, “private-sales” of hotels and resorts, so that you
can offer a unique product with guaranteed unbeatable prices.
Our partners receive a turnkey, customized travel site, which can be up and
running in a few days. The site is designed to optimize sales conversions.
What We Do
TripAlertz offers "private-sales" discounts of getaway & vacation travel.
TripAlertz offers a differentiated solution, so you are not making the same offers,
like a Hotels.com or Expedia, which connect to the identical rates and supply.
We focus on value for the everyday consumer, not the luxury market.
You can give your audience access to the TripAlertz proprietary supply network
and pricing, which can be up-to 65% lower than other online offers.

What Makes Us Different
Team: Over 200 years of travel expertise with a specialized focus on private-sale and flash-sale travel offers.
Content: Exclusively sourced travel deals that can only be accessed through the TripAlertz “Deals Distribution System”.
Technology: Robust technology platform with powerful APIs, widgets and real-time confirmed reservations.
Marketing: Our marketing team uses proprietary data to help optimize deals for your audience, and optimize your marketing of the offers.
Legal: You become eligible to sell travel in all agreed upon jurisdictions, so you can avoid the expense of bonding, licensing and a range of hassles in being licensed to sell travel (in co-branded solutions).
Rev Share: Earn substantial revenue share and commissions, including the potential to share in profits well-beyond a 30-day cookie. Our pay-outs are generally higher than other solutions, and our offers are better than “public rate” deals through the large online agencies.

• API: TripAlertz’s robust API allows your audience to book travel on your co-
branded pages, formatted with our pricing, photos, package details, reviews,
available dates, room types, and exceptional functionality. Note: at over
$300K per month in sales, TripAlertz will consider a white-label partnership.
• Confirmed Reservations: Our inventory management system provides live
inventory so that the reservation is guaranteed at time of booking.
• Supplier Extranet: TripAlertz delivers a dashboard and platform so suppliers
can easily manage inventory, rooming reports, and offer details, and we
custom design solutions for suppliers, which means better inventory offers for
your customers.
• Reliable Customer Service: Each partner organization is assigned a
dedicated customer service relationship. All of our agents are fully trained on
travel product, and have at least 5 years experience in the travel industry.
