RateGain Signs Cinko as New Demand Partner for Hotel Distribution Network

RateGain Travel Technologies has announced a new partnership with Cinko to help hotels capture last-minute booking demand through enhanced distribution and connectivity.

The agreement will enable Cinko to access RateGain’s global hotel supply ecosystem through its Enterprise Connectivity platform, giving travellers greater access to same-day hotel inventory while helping hotels improve occupancy and revenue opportunities.

Expanding Access to Last-Minute Hotel Inventory

Cinko’s booking platform, TONIGHT, is designed to connect travellers seeking same-day accommodation with hotels that have unsold inventory near their check-in dates.

Through the partnership, hotels connected to RateGain’s network will gain access to an additional demand channel that reaches high-intent travellers seeking last-minute bookings. The collaboration is expected to create new opportunities for hotels to monetize time-sensitive inventory more effectively.

Strengthening Hotel Distribution Capabilities

RateGain’s Enterprise Connectivity platform facilitates real-time connectivity between hotel suppliers and travel demand partners, including online travel agencies and global distribution systems. The platform supports the exchange of availability, rates, inventory and reservation data through scalable integrations.

By connecting hotel inventory with new distribution channels such as Cinko, RateGain aims to help hospitality businesses expand market reach, improve inventory visibility and accelerate partner onboarding.

Supporting Changing Traveller Behaviour

Commenting on the partnership, Serge Couturiaux, Director of Cinko, highlighted that the collaboration will expand access to hotel inventory while providing travellers with more competitive last-minute accommodation options.

RateGain noted that as traveller booking behaviour increasingly shifts toward shorter booking windows and immediate travel decisions, hotels require access to demand sources that can generate bookings closer to the stay date.

Enhancing Revenue Opportunities for Hotels

According to RateGain, the addition of Cinko further strengthens its Enterprise Connectivity ecosystem by connecting hotel partners with relevant demand sources and helping them generate incremental revenue opportunities.

The company stated that the partnership supports its broader mission of improving distribution efficiency, expanding hotel visibility and helping hospitality businesses capture additional demand through technology-driven solutions.
