"We are excited and energized to deepen our relationship with HotelRunner in 2022 as a key stakeholder in our collective mission to power global travel for everyone, everywhere."

"HotelRunner and Expedia Group's strategic partnership continues to grow exponentially. This partnership empowers not only the two companies but especially our lodging properties," said Rıza Kaynak, Director of Demand Partnerships at HotelRunner. "In our second year as an Elite Connectivity Partner, with the help of our state-of-the-art technology, we have assisted our joint properties to ensure that they benefit from this partnership in the best way possible, and connected thousands of new properties to Expedia Group. We highly value our strategic partnership with Expedia Group, and having been rewarded with this designation for the second time proves that we are on the right track of achieving great things together."

As a part of its designation, HotelRunner will receive early access to new Expedia Group tools and features that it can pilot and integrate into its software. HotelRunner will also work directly with Expedia Group's leadership team, providing feedback and helping shape future products and technology solutions.
