Why Destination Management Companies (DMCs) Need Hotel Mapping?
As a Destination Management Company, your business is built on one key promise: creating travel experiences that feel seamless for your customers. Whether you are designing a honeymoon itinerary in Bali, a corporate retreat in Dubai, or a family vacation across Europe, the quality of the hotels you include defines the strength of your package. Travelers often judge the entire trip based on their experience. That means your ability to access clean, reliable, and rich hotel data is not just a backend requirement; it is central to your reputation. The challenge is that hotel data from multiple suppliers rarely comes in a clean, uniform format. Duplicate listings, missing images, mismatched addresses, or outdated descriptions can creep into your inventory. These inconsistencies don’t just waste your team’s time; they can lead to unhappy customers, incorrect bookings, and even strained relationships with local suppliers. Clean hotel data, on the other hand, enables you to design packages with confidence. It ensures that every hotel included in your itinerary is accurate, verified, and aligned with the expectations you set for your clients. In the next section, we’ll dive deeper into the reasons that make hotel mapping non-negotiable for DMCs. Why Hotel Mapping Matters to DMCs For a Destination Management Company, the strength of your offering depends on the reliability of the hotels you include. When property data is inconsistent, outdated, or incomplete, it directly affects how your packages are built and perceived. Which is why we consider the following three reasons why hotel mapping matters to DMCs: Enriched Content: Crafting More Attractive Packages Think about the last time you pitched a package to a corporate client or a high-value traveler. They wanted to see more than just a hotel name and star rating. They needed photos of the rooms, a clear list of amenities, and details about the property’s location. That’s where enriched hotel content becomes your biggest advantage. Hotel mapping consolidates data from multiple suppliers and fills in the gaps. It provides you with consistent and complete content, including updated images, detailed descriptions, nearby attractions, and property-specific amenities. When you present such comprehensive information, your package looks polished and professional. It also builds trust with clients who can see exactly what they are booking. Enriched content transforms a simple list of hotels into an engaging travel experience. Verified Properties: Building Trust and Reliability For a DMC, credibility is everything. Imagine booking a property that appears in your system but turns out to be inactive, incorrectly listed, or a duplicate of another hotel. The consequences are more than just operational headaches. You risk disappointing clients and losing their confidence. Hotel mapping ensures that every property in your inventory is verified. It eliminates duplicates, aligns each listing with an authoritative reference source, and guarantees that the property information is correct. This means you are not second-guessing whether a hotel really exists or whether its details are up to date. Verified properties create a foundation of reliability, which directly impacts the satisfaction of your clients and strengthens your reputation in competitive markets. Better Itineraries with Clean Hotel Data Your value as a DMC comes from the itineraries you design. A great itinerary balances accommodation, activities, and logistics to create a smooth experience. Clean hotel data is the backbone of this process. When your hotel listings are accurate and mapped correctly, you can confidently match the right property to the right traveler. For example, if you’re curating a multi-city European package, hotel mapping ensures that your Paris listing does not overlap with a similar property in Brussels or that duplicate hotels do not confuse your inventory. It also allows you to categorize properties based on traveler profiles such as families, business groups, or luxury seekers. Clean data saves your team hours of manual checking and ensures that itineraries are precise, reliable, and tailored. When you have enriched content, verified properties, and clean data powering your itineraries, the immediate benefits are clear: your packages look sharper, planning becomes easier, and your clients trust what you deliver. But the impact of hotel mapping goes beyond day-to-day operations. Let’s look into it. Business Impact of Hotel Mapping for DMCs Hotel mapping is more than a technical solution; it is a strategic lever that transforms how a DMC operates and grows. Clean, standardized hotel data affects every aspect of your business, from day-to-day operations to client satisfaction and long-term revenue. One of our clients, an award-winning DMC, also faced a common challenge. They were handling a multi-country incentive trip for a corporate client. Their team struggled with duplicate hotel listings, missing images, and inconsistent property details across multiple supplier feeds. Planning the itinerary became a time-consuming process, and there was a constant risk of booking errors that could impact the client experience. After implementing hotel mapping, the transformation was immediate. All hotel data was consolidated, verified, and enriched with complete descriptions, images, amenities, and accurate locations. The team could now create itineraries confidently, knowing every property in the package was reliable. This shift had multiple business impacts: Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings: The team no longer had to manually cross-check listings or chase supplier confirmations. Hours of repetitive work were eliminated, allowing them to focus on designing unique experiences instead of fixing data issues. Increased Traveler Confidence and Satisfaction: Corporate travelers could clearly see property details, amenities, and visuals before booking. The result was fewer questions, smoother trips, and more positive feedback from clients. Stronger Supplier Relationships: Hotels appreciated that all listings were accurate and consistent. This reduced disputes and strengthened the DMC’s credibility with local partners. Ability to Scale and Personalize Packages: With mapped data, the DMC could segment properties by traveler type: luxury, family, or corporate, and expand their offerings without introducing errors or confusion. Competitive Differentiation: The enhanced, polished presentation of the packages set them apart from other providers. Clients could immediately see the value in working with a DMC that delivered complete, reliable information. Long-Term Revenue Growth: Streamlined operations, happier clients, and stronger supplier

#6: Zaid Shaikh, CTO, Rateloc
In the sixth of our Impact10 series, we interacted with Zaid Shaikh, CTO of Rateloc. With hands-on experience driving product and business growth in one of the leading B2B travel platforms, Zaid talked about the evolving role of technology in transforming the travel ecosystem. He highlighted the importance of scalable architectures, clean data, and seamless integrations to address industry pain points such as fragmented hotel content, inconsistent pricing, and distribution inefficiencies. Zaid also shared his perspective on how innovation, collaboration, and a customer-first mindset can pave the way for sustainable growth in the travel industry. Needless to say, this was one of the most insightful discussions we’ve had with a technologist in a while. Get in on all his insights: Let’s begin by learning a bit about yourself. You are one of the youngest & most promising leaders that we have come across in the travel-tech space. How did your journey begin? How did you enter this industry? Firstly, I was not always in the travel industry. I started as a software developer at an MNC-backed Startup back in the day. In 2023, I joined Rateloc, and since then, the vision has been very clear: we didn’t want to create another travel website; we wanted to make a platform that feels effortless for clients. And what excites me most about the platform which we have built is the balance which we have managed to achieve. There are a lot of platforms that either have complicated interfaces but good pricing, or they’re easy to use but not very competitive on rates. So, with Rateloc, I genuinely feel we have got the best of both- a simple, intuitive platform with the most competitive rates in the industry. And because of that balance, I think it makes us strong enough to, you know, compete with the biggest players while staying true to our goal, which is making travel both effortless and affordable. So how did you discover Vervotech? Were there certain challenges that you were looking to solve with our mapping tech? Yeah, actually, one of the biggest challenges that we had was the quality of hotel content. Because we work with multiple suppliers, you know that if we must be competitive, we need to get good rates. And due to that, we often used to get duplicates and mismatched data, which made the platform a little bit messy, which went against our vision. Like I said, we wanted an easy and simple platform, so to achieve that balance, we found a solution in Vervotech. And why we chose Vervotech? Because it tackled our pain points, which were duplicate content and inconsistent data that came with the supplier. Their mapping solution gave us a unified, clean, and accurate database of hotels. And for us, it meant that we could keep the platform simple and user-friendly while also scaling with multiple suppliers to stay competitive on price. After the integration, we no longer needed to take care of duplicates and stuff; we could just scale by onboarding multiple suppliers. Has there been a measurable impact of integrating Vervotech’s mapping APIs? Um, the biggest difference I feel has been in data accuracy and scalability- our hotel listings are now very clear. Duplicates are gone. The whole platform feels more reliable for users, and it has also freed us from a lot of manual cleanups, which we used to do. Now, we can focus more on growth, and most importantly, we are able to add more suppliers without worrying about experience breaking down. Another thing we are very sure about now is that the data our customers see on our platform is very reliable and up to date. Is there a certain aspect or feature that you really like about it? I like that the APIs are AI-native, because it’s not just removing duplicates, but it’s also making sure all the details from images to amenities are in place. So that kind of consistency really helps our goal, you know, to keep the platform both easy and competitive. If you were to summarize the Vervotech Impact in one sentence, what would you say? I can say that “Vervotech has empowered Rateloc to scale confidently, and turned our hotel content into something we can fully trust.” It has powered simple booking experiences at competitive rates. Would you like to recommend Vervotech to upcoming online travel businesses? Definitely! In travel, everything depends on trust and usability, and if your content is not clear, you lose trust, and if your interface isn’t simple, you lose customers. Vervotech helps with both. It lets you focus on building growth and delivering value. I feel Vervotech’s mapping technology is the right option for upcoming online travel businesses, and I will recommend it without any hesitation.

#5: Ajay Kesavan, CEO of BiyaheKo.ph
In the fifth episode of our Impact10 series, we got talking with Ajay Kesavan, CEO of BiyaheKo.ph- one of Southeast Asia’s leading B2B travel solutions providers. With over a decade of experience in global travel tech, Ajay talks about its evolution in the past few years, his long-standing appreciation for the people behind Vervotech, and how Vervotech’s mapping technology has played an essential role in improving the accuracy of their travel platform. Here are some insights from our interaction with Ajay: Thanks for joining me today, Ajay. Let’s start with learning a bit about you. Tell us something about yourself- your journey as a technologist and in the travel industry. I began my career in airline sales but was always fascinated by how technology could transform real-world experiences. The travel industry, in particular, intrigued me; it’s a space where user experience is everything, yet it relies on complex backend systems working seamlessly. Over the years, I worked on several digital transformation projects for travel companies in the Philippines, and those experiences eventually brought me to Biyaheko, where I set out to transform the company with new technology. My mission has always been simple: to give travel agents and tour operators in our country world-class tools that enable them to compete and thrive in the digital age. What were the challenges you were facing on your online travel platform? As our hotel inventory grew, we started noticing duplicate listings, inconsistent property information, and mismatched content across suppliers. This not only confused our partner agents but also eroded trust in our platform. Manual clean-ups were eating up a lot of time and resources, and we knew it wasn’t scalable. What led you to choose Vervotech’s mapping solution? I’ve known the people at Vervotech for years, and I’ve always been impressed with their accommodation mapping technology, even before becoming a client. When the challenges started to impact our operations and customer experience, Vervotech was the obvious choice. Their technology wasn’t just accurate; it was built with the scale and intelligence we needed for our growing platform. How was your experience with the implementation process? Surprisingly smooth. We were expecting the integration to take a few months, but Vervotech’s team’s expertise and responsiveness made it quick and painless. They understood our business model and tailored the implementation so we could start seeing results faster. What key improvements have you seen since using Vervotech? The first and most obvious change was the drastic reduction in duplicate and mismatched hotel listings. Our platform’s search results are now cleaner, more reliable, and visually consistent. This has led to fewer support tickets from agents and a noticeable uptick in bookings. Is there any feature or aspect of the product that you find particularly valuable? The continuous content updates are a game-changer. It’s not just about mapping hotels once and forgetting about it, Vervotech keeps our database fresh and accurate without manual intervention, which means our agents always have up-to-date property information. How has your experience been with Vervotech’s customer support team? Exceptional. They’re proactive, not reactive. Any question we raise gets addressed quickly, and they also reach out with suggestions on how we can get even more value from the platform. It’s rare to see that level of commitment after onboarding. If you were to describe Vervotech’s impact in one sentence, what would it be? Vervotech has turned our hotel content from a messy liability into a competitive advantage. Would you recommend Vervotech to others in your industry? Why? Absolutely. In the travel industry, trust is currency, and that starts with accurate content. Vervotech’s mapping solution ensures that what you show your customers is exactly what they get, and that’s priceless for building long-term relationships.

Why Travel Businesses Need a Second Layer of Mapping: Benefits of Using DualMap for OTAs and Accommodation Wholesalers
Let’s be honest- Relying on a single mapping layer in 2025 is a gamble! You can have a solid internal mapping engine, or pay a premium for third-party mapping services, and still, bad data finds its way in. You don’t need to imagine the outcome; you’ve already lived it: customers booking the wrong property, support teams scrambling, refunds being issued, and a brand trying to recover from another preventable mistake. The real problem? Too many platforms treat mapping accuracy as “solved” when it’s only “mostly accurate.” And “mostly accurate” is simply not good enough when you’re processing thousands, or millions, of hotel transactions across suppliers. This is why leading OTAs and accommodation wholesalers are adding a second layer of mapping validation. They’re using DualMap to introduce real-time, independent verification at the exact moment it matters most, just before or right after a booking is confirmed. It’s not just about catching errors; it’s about refusing to let incorrect mapping quietly chip away at customer trust, operational bandwidth, and profit margins. TL; DR: Why DualMap Is the Smart Layer Your Mapping Stack Needs Even the best mapping systems aren’t immune to occasional errors, and in travel, even one wrong map can lead to dozens of bad bookings, refunds, and brand damage. DualMap adds a second, real-time verification layer—pre- or post-booking—to validate supplier mappings when it matters most. It integrates easily into your existing tech stack and allows you to define smart business rules to handle discrepancies based on value, refundability, or risk. The result is fewer booking errors, reduced operational overhead, improved supplier accountability, and a stronger, more trustworthy customer experience. For OTAs and wholesalers operating at scale, DualMap is no longer optional; it’s the safeguard your hotel booking platform should have had from day one. Key Benefits of Integrating DualMap Here’s why travel companies that care about scale, stability, and brand integrity adopt this approach. Primary Mapping Isn’t Failing, but It Isn’t Foolproof Either Let’s stop pretending mapping is bulletproof. Even the best systems have blind spots: inconsistent naming conventions, duplicate listings across suppliers, mismatched geocodes, or fragmented metadata. Most of the time, the errors don’t get caught until it’s too late, until a customer walks into the wrong hotel or complains on social media about a booking they didn’t make. DualMap doesn’t replace your existing mapping; it challenges it. It forces your system to prove that what it believes to be true still holds, right when a booking is about to be made (or has just been confirmed). That’s the level of scrutiny high-volume travel platforms need. Not blind trust, verified trust. The Cost of Inaction Is Real and Compounding Let’s quantify the fallout of a single bad map. Assume- one mismatch in a popular property leads to 20, 50, or even 100 wrong bookings. Every one of those bookings demands customer service intervention, refund or compensation processing, manual supplier reconciliation, and sometimes even legal follow-up. Multiply that over weeks and across markets, and you’re not just losing money, you’re bleeding operational hours and brand equity. Worse, many of these incidents go unreported internally until patterns emerge. DualMap short-circuits this cycle by catching mapping discrepancies before they go live, or, at minimum, before the damage spreads. The savings aren’t just theoretical; they’re operational, financial, and reputational. You Can’t Scale Without Smart Guardrails Travel companies often brag about speed, faster APIs, faster booking flows, and faster onboarding. But speed without control is a recipe for failure. When your platform is pushing thousands of hotel options to users across dozens of suppliers, mistakes become inevitable unless you build smart checkpoints. DualMap gives you exactly that: a flexible, rules-based validation layer you can tailor to your business logic. Want to block bookings above $500 when confidence scores drop below 0.8? Done. Want to allow refundable bookings but flag them for post-check review? Also, doable. You define logic. DualMap enforces it. This is how smart travel companies scale by moving fast, but never recklessly. Good CX Is Built on Invisible Infrastructure Customers don’t care what mapping tech you use; they care that their booking is accurate. And every time your system gets it wrong, it becomes a branding problem, not just a technical one. You can recover money; you can’t always recover trust. What DualMap offers isn’t flashy. It’s quiet confidence. It ensures that what your customers see is what they get. That kind of consistency isn’t just good for conversion; it’s the foundation of long-term customer loyalty. OTAs that treat CX as a competitive advantage are the ones making investments like this, because it’s far more expensive to fix broken trust than to prevent an error in the first place. It’s Not Just a Mapping Tool, It’s an Accountability Layer Let’s talk about suppliers. Some deliver clean, consistent data. Others… not so much. But unless you’re tracking mapping discrepancies in real time, you’re treating all suppliers the same and absorbing the risk. DualMap changes that. It gives you data on where mismatches are happening and which supplier IDs are causing the most trouble. That insight isn’t just helpful, it’s leverage. You now have grounds to revisit SLAs, prioritize integrations, or flag low-quality feeds before they impact users. In a space where supplier data is a shared responsibility, DualMap helps you hold the supply side accountable without waiting for post-mortems. Bottom Line: Accuracy Isn’t Optional If you’re building a travel platform that’s meant to scale, you can’t treat mapping accuracy as a nice-to-have. The market is too competitive, the margins are too thin, and the cost of failure is too high. DualMap doesn’t just make your tech stack stronger; it makes your business safer. It gives your team the confidence to move fast, knowing that a second layer of validation is always watching. The smartest travel companies know it’s not enough to map at once. You need to verify. Every time it counts. FAQs Why does single-layered mapping fail? Single-layered mapping systems, whether built in-house or sourced externally, are designed to standardize hotel data
