JTB BÓKUN launches Channel Manager API, enabling direct connection to overseas OTAs

On November 5, 2026, the JTB Group announced in its official press release that its experience activity reservation management system JTB BÓKUN has begun offering a "Channel Manager API." According to the report, this API can interconnect operators' existing reservation and ticketing systems with JTB BÓKUN in real time, and without replacing their own core systems, thereby eliminating the need to connect with overseas OTAs one by one. The report did not disclose information such as the launch timetable, applicable regions, the list of connected OTAs, or fees. Current progress: the API has been announced by JTB as beginning to be offered, and subsequent implementation details have not yet been reported.
