Gatetrips

GateTrips is a business-to-business travel marketplace based in Dubai. It connects travel agencies, tour operators and corporate buyers with suppliers. The inventory covers hotels, transfers, activities and visa support. Its site is aimed at travel professionals, not at individual travelers.

The company says it started in 2017. Its goal was to make it easier for travel professionals in the Middle East and South Asia to reach reliable and competitively priced travel products. It says it now works with more than 130 partner agencies. It reports 24 hour online access and hotel coverage around the world.

Hotels are the core product. The company offers many stays, from independent hotels to large international brands. Partners can search for rates and manage bookings on one online portal. The company says rates and availability are live. It adds that an operations team follows up on booking details.

Other products include private and shared airport transfers and tours, tickets and activities. The company also gives help with UAE visas and some tourist visa applications for other countries. Partners can build full itineraries that combine stays, transfers and activities. Corporate travel buyers can use negotiated options and clear booking management.

The platform is built with an API, which is a link that lets computer systems share data. The company says this is meant to connect hotel inventory and help partners grow. Suppliers can also list their inventory to reach active travel sellers in the regional partner network.

GateTrips says it knows the markets of its partners, mainly Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It states that its commercial terms are clear and carry no hidden charges. It says it prefers long-term partnerships to one-off sales.

The website also runs a blog with guides on net rates, markup and commission, and on choosing a B2B hotel booking platform. A form lets agencies, companies and hotels ask about a partnership.
