eviivo to offer APAC distribution to independent hoteliers via Dida

eviivo hotels tap APAC B2B demand

eviivo, the property management and booking platform, has announced an integration with Dida, a B2B travel distributor with strong reach across Asia-Pacific. 

Eligible independent hotels using eviivo Suite will be able to distribute live rates and availability to Dida’s network of 40,000 distributors. 

The company, which says it works with more than 28,000 properties across Europe and North America, positions the move as a way for smaller teams to raise their visibility in APAC without piling on administration.

The connection pushes a property’s live rates and availability to Dida’s network of travel agents, tour operators, airlines and closed-user groups across APAC and more than 200 source markets worldwide. 

Bookings from the Dida channel are prepaid and flow directly into a property’s eviivo reservation calendar alongside existing sales channels. 

Combined with eviivo’s OTA connectivity and all-in-one management tools, hotels can manage distribution, bookings, payments, guest communications, accounting and reporting in one place.

By managing distribution to major OTAs, GDS and direct-booking sites from a single platform, eviivo’s Channel Manager keeps rates and availability aligned, reduces duplicate manual updates, helps prevent overbookings and maintains consistency across connected channels. 

For smaller hotel teams, that offers a practical route into new international markets without introducing a separate workflow, while retaining control over pricing, policies and day-to-day operations.

According to Expedia Group research, 65% of travel professionals expect APAC travel demand for their business to increase over the next two to three years. Independently of that, eviivo argues that B2B demand is prized because these guests tend to book earlier, stay longer, rarely cancel and spend more.

“Independent hotels continue to look for new ways to connect with international travellers through trusted B2B travel channels," said Luca Plotegher, director of hotel partnerships at Dida.

"Our partnership with eviivo makes it easier for eligible properties to access Dida's global travel trade network while continuing to manage inventory and operations through the platform they already rely on. 

"Together, we are helping hotels reach APAC-led and global B2B demand through a simpler, more streamlined approach,” said Luca Plotegher, director of hotel partnerships at Dida.

While Dida pitches itself as a direct route to APAC demand, the company also underscores its technology-led approach to distribution. 

Earlier this year it entered a research partnership with Tsinghua University in Beijing and announced the launch of Dida MCP, an AI-native booking gateway designed to let partners embed hotel search and reservation in third-party applications.
