Expedia - Contracting Process - What type of Supply can go to Expedia?

This article explains which property types are able to distribute to Expedia.

With Expedia Group there are specific regulations as to what type of supply can go to Expedia, vs. what type of supply can go to their sister brand VRBO which is more focused towards vacation/short term rentals.

As agreed with Expedia Connectivity and Accommodation Leadership the following rules are in place and the following structure is in place, to contract or manage your accommodations on Expedia.

  1. hotels, resorts, b&b’s, holiday parks and anything that is a multi-unit structure.

  2. Vacation rentals, as long they are multi-unit structure with at least 5 unit types, with depth of inventory behind it, at the same address (eg. a Swiss Ski Chalet Building, with 10 apartment types and 300 apartments, in one building on the same adress, would qualify).

  3. Existing VR Clients that had an agreement with Expedia prior to the date of this article.

Note from a NextPax clarity position it is explicitly forbidden to create unit types from what are effectively just single units as a workaround for criteria number 2.

But wait, how can single-unit vacation rental providers then list on Expedia?

All single unit vacation rental providers have to go with their 1 or more properties to Expedia’s vacation rental brand VRBO. They can onboard there, and then VRBO will take care of the onward distribution to Expedia. If accepted by Expedia, via expediting the VRBO property-status calls, we can get both the VRBO listing ID and the Expedia ‘hotel’ ID for these properties.
