Expedia Rapid API helps hotel websites integrate multi-category bookings

On October 24, 2026, Hospitality Technology reported that Expedia Group B2B Vice President Stephen Cheng said hotels can add categories including flights, car rentals, activities and travel protection to their own-brand websites through Rapid API without replacing their central reservation system (CRS); the CRS continues to handle room bookings while Rapid API handles the rest of the trip. The report did not disclose details such as launch timing, the number of partner hotels or pricing, and current progress is limited to the executive's description of the integration approach.
