The agreement will boost access to accommodation content for GlobalStar's TMC members, with RateHawk offering connections to 320 wholesalers and 130,000 directly contracted properties.
RateHawk¡¯s platform uses AI-powered tools to prioritise recommendations based on rate competitiveness. It also offers "a number of supplementary supplier sources for car rentals, transfers and train tickets".
Julian Russell, GlobalStar¡¯s executive director of IT and supplier relations, explained that the partnership with RateHawk "closes a gap" for its partners with the capability to pre-pay or use a credit limit with hotel bookings, which he said was a "must-have" for TMCs in some regions.
"Alongside this, the additional flexibility of API integration provides our partners with an opportunity for deeper integration where required," added Russell.
London-based GlobalStar was ranked as the fourth largest TMC network in Europe in 2024.
