  • Your markup on every room
  • TBO flights in a separate module

How it works

A ready TBO Holidays connector in the stays module

TBO Holidays is a B2B travel supplier whose API gives travel companies hotel, flight and holiday inventory. PHPTRAVELS ships a TBO module for the stays category that calls the TBO hotel API with your own credentials and runs search, price check, booking, voucher and cancellation inside the same reservation workflow as your other hotel suppliers. TBO air fares come through a separate TBO flights module, so you can switch on hotels, flights or both.

  1. Open a TBO Holidays account and request API access for hotels
  2. Enable the TBO module in the stays category and add your credentials
  3. Map TBO cities and hotels to your destinations and set markups
  4. Run test bookings and cancellations in the TBO test environment
  5. Switch to live and TBO hotels appear in your search results

Booking flow

From TBO hotel search to voucher and cancellation

What PHPTRAVELS does for every TBO hotel booking, on your public website and in the B2B agent portal alike.

  1. Search

    TBO availability by city, dates, rooms, child ages and guest nationality, merged with your other hotels.

  2. Price check

    The selected room is re-priced and its cancellation terms refreshed before checkout.

  3. Pay

    Lead guest details and payment by card, agent wallet or an offline method.

  4. Book

    The reservation is sent to TBO and the TBO booking reference is saved on it.

  5. Voucher

    A voucher with the TBO reference, board and policy is emailed to the guest or agent.

  6. Cancel or refund

    Cancellations are sent to TBO and charged by the rate's policy, with refunds from the admin.

Inventory

TBO next to your other hotel sources

TBO is one supplier in the stays module, and its air fares run in their own flights module, so one platform can sell both.

  • TBO hotels

    Rooms from your TBO Holidays account, with board types, cancellation terms and hotel notes.

  • TBO flights

    A separate TBO flights module adds air fares from the same supplier, for agencies that sell both.

  • Other bed banks and contracts

    Hotelbeds, RateHawk, Hotelston, Agoda and your directly contracted hotels in the same search.
