Stop cold emailing hotels. Start with the right fit.
The properties that suit your trips aren't listed anywhere searchable. Sourcing runs on old contact lists, fam trips and whoever answered last time. Set your brief, audience, price tier, activities, season, and see only the accommodations that fit.

There is no directory. Only people who know people.
An owner run hotel in the Alentejo with twelve rooms is not in any wholesaler catalogue. It has no sales team, no trade fair budget and no reason to appear in a search you can run from Amsterdam.
So sourcing falls back on what you already have: the contacts from the last fam trip, the DMC you used in 2019, the property a colleague mentioned. It works, until you need something specific in a region where nobody on the team has a name to call.
The cost isn't the time. It's the properties you never saw, that would have been a better fit than the one you booked.
Relationship gatekept
Access runs through whoever already knows someone. New regions start from zero every time.
Nothing searchable
OTAs list rooms, not partners. Nowhere shows you which properties want trade business and on what terms.
Fam trips and trade shows
You see a handful of properties per trip, chosen by someone else, at considerable cost.
We make the introduction. Then we're out of it.
No commission on anything you book. No say in your contract, your rates, or your relationship with the property. Once an introduction is approved, you deal with the accommodation directly, the same way you already do with the properties you've personally visited and contracted. We're not a booking platform, a wholesaler, or a layer you have to go through. We just help you find properties worth that first conversation.
Only work with places you've vetted yourself? That's exactly what a match here is for! A shortlist worth visiting, not a directory to book from.
The supply side, already filterable.
Independent and group run boutique hotels, villas, B&Bs, farm stays and resorts. Each profile reviewed before it goes live.
Deepest coverage in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Austria, and growing every week.
The same fields you already use to build a trip. Your brief maps straight onto them.
Four moves. One better fit.
Set up your organisation
One profile for your company: source markets, audience, travel styles and the destinations you sell. It's the base for every destination you'll source for. You never fill it in twice.
Activate a destination
Activating a destination means picking a region you're sourcing for and writing down the brief: accommodation type, activities, price tier, audience and season. Sourcing for Zeeland this autumn looks nothing like sourcing for the Ardennes next spring, so each destination keeps its own brief.
See matching accommodations
Every property that fits your brief shows up here, scored and ranked. No contact information is given yet. Just enough to know which ones are worth a closer look.
Send introductions.
Pick the accommodations you actually want to work with and send them an introduction. Once they approve it, full contact details are shared both ways and you can take it off platform. Meaning no cold outreach and no guesswork.
Grandeur Travel already had availability. What they found here was a hotel worth an actual relationship.
Read the story →Questions from travel organisations.
- What does "activating a destination" mean exactly?
- You pick a region you're sourcing for and describe the brief: accommodation type, audience, activities, price tier and season. That brief is the activation. It stays open, so you can come back to it whenever you build a new trip for that region.
- Is this a booking platform?
- No. There is no inventory, no availability and no rates here. We make the introduction; you contract directly with the accommodation and keep the full relationship and margin. No commission, ever.
- How much does it cost to activate a destination?
- Nothing. Unlocking a destination activation is free: you get every match inside that activation for a year, however many there are. Creating your organisation profile and seeing how many accommodations you match with, and why, is free too.
- How long before we see matches after activating?
- Immediately. Matching runs against profiles already on the platform, so your list is scored and ranked as soon as the brief is saved. You can send introduction requests the same minute.
- How are accommodations vetted before they're listed?
- Every property profile is reviewed before it goes live. Owners keep their own details, seasonality and languages current, and profiles that go stale drop out of matching.
- Does this replace our existing supplier relationships?
- No. It works alongside them. Your contracted properties stay exactly as they are. This is for the destinations where you don't yet have a name to call, or where you suspect there's a better fit than the one you've used for years.
- Can accommodations reach out to us first?
- Yes. Accommodations run their own match searches and can send you an introduction request when your brief fits their property. You approve or decline. The platform works both ways.
- Which destinations are currently covered?
- Accommodations are listed across 16 countries, with the deepest coverage in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Austria. If a region is thin, you'll see that in the free match count before you pay anything.
One brief, and you see who fits.
Free to set up, free to see how many accommodations match your destination, and free to activate it. No commission, ever.
