WHY IT RATES: RateHawk has partnered with GlobalStar Travel Management to offer its extensive hotel, ticket and transfer booking system to GlobalStar's partners, enhancing booking efficiency with AI tools and offering over 2.7 million accommodations. —Janeen Christoff, TravelPulse Managing Editor


RateHawk, a B2B online system for booking hotels, air tickets, and transfers, has announced a strategic partnership with GlobalStar Travel Management, a worldwide travel management organisation. This new partnership gives GlobalStar’s partners around the world access to RateHawk’s extensive inventory.

RateHawk's all-in-one system will provide Global Star’s partners over 2.7 million accommodation options, alongside a number of supplementary supplier sources for car rentals, transfers and train tickets. To assist travel managers in efficiently navigating the wide array of options, the company's AI-powered tools prioritise recommendations based on the most competitive rates available.

“Our collaboration is designed to further empower GlobalStar partners, increasing their confidence in the daily booking routine. We source our diverse range of accommodations from not only 320+ suppliers but also 130,000+ directly contracted properties. This enables us to provide real-time availability status and facilitate faster amendments. Also, our ML-driven pre-book check procedure helps minimise the risk of possible issues, ensuring a smoother experience. Additionally, our dedicated support team is available in 32 languages to assist with any inquiries,” shares Ilya Kravtsov, Chief Commercial Officer at Emerging Travel Group, RateHawk’s parent company.

"We are delighted to be partnering with a respected global booking system like RateHawk to complement our existing GDS-based hotel programme. In particular, RateHawk’s ability to provide ‘pre-pay’ and ‘credit’ facilities closes a gap for GlobalStar in supporting our Partners in regions where this feature is a ‘must-have’ to manage hotel bookings. Alongside this, the additional flexibility of API integration provides our Partners with an opportunity for deeper integration where required. Initial feedback from our Partners has been extremely positive, and I look forward to engaging closely with the Network in the coming months to share more information, ” stated Julian Russell, Executive Director, IT and Supplier Relations, at GlobalStar.
