AccorHotels acquires Availpro
Following the acquisition of Fastbooking in 2015, AccorHotels has announced the acquisition of Availpro.
Created in 2001, Availpro is one of the leading European software providers to hoteliers with more than 6,500 clients. The consolidation of these two major players will create the leading European digital services provider for independent hotels, ranked the third largest global player in its sector.
In an expanding and highly competitive sector, the companies in combination say they will work to benefit hoteliers who are increasingly calling for decision-support solutions and will now have access to a whole range of management tools and assistance services to enhance their online distribution and increase their revenues.
Steven Daines, CEO, new business at AccorHotels said, “Today, two thirds of hoteliers are independent and the increase of their online visibility and direct sales is critical to their development.
“The acquisition of Availpro enables the Group to reach another milestone in its transformation by establishing the first B2B services division focused on hoteliers in Europe. Its combination with Fastbooking, now more than ever before, positions AccorHotels as an hotelier serving the hoteliers.”
