AI-powered travel technology company ZentrumHub has announced a strategic connectivity partnership with RateGain, a global provider of AI-powered SaaS solutions for the travel and hospitality industry. Announced in June 2026, the collaboration aims to simplify hotel distribution while reducing integration complexity across the global travel ecosystem.
The partnership combines ZentrumHub’s connectivity infrastructure with RateGain’s Smart Distribution platform. With more than 13,000 customers, 700+ partners across 160+ countries, and relationships with 33 of the Top 40 hotel chains, RateGain significantly broadens the hotel supply network available through ZentrumHub’s platform.
As a result of the integration, travel agencies, destination management companies (DMCs), and wholesalers connected to ZentrumHub will gain quicker access to a larger hotel inventory through the single API integration they already use. At the same time, hotel suppliers within RateGain’s network will receive a simplified route to ZentrumHub’s demand ecosystem, which includes 90+ enterprise travel companies across 30+ countries, eliminating the need for repetitive one-to-one integrations.
The collaboration comes as the travel distribution landscape becomes increasingly fragmented, creating operational challenges for both suppliers and travel businesses. Together, the two companies aim to build a more connected and interoperable travel infrastructure that enables supply and demand partners to connect in weeks rather than months.
“Fragmented connectivity continues to be one of the biggest operational challenges in travel distribution,” said Bhushan Tamhankar, Co-founder & COO, ZentrumHub. “This partnership removes the barriers that traditionally slow distribution, giving connected partners faster access to broader supply and demand, in weeks rather than months.”
Highlighting the need for a more unified approach, Anurag Jain, Executive Vice President – Revenue (APMEA), RateGain, said, “Travel distribution today is still heavily fragmented, with suppliers and demand partners managing multiple integrations, onboarding cycles, and disconnected connectivity layers. Our partnership with ZentrumHub is focused on simplifying that complexity through a more unified connectivity framework that enables faster access between global supply and demand ecosystems. Together, we are building a more scalable and interoperable foundation for the future of travel distribution.”
The agreement represents another milestone in ZentrumHub’s strategy to establish itself as the connectivity backbone for global hotel distribution, strengthening collaboration between hotel suppliers and travel businesses through a unified technology platform.
Founded as an AI-powered travel technology company, ZentrumHub enables travel businesses to connect with hotel suppliers worldwide through a single universal API. Its platform links online travel agencies (OTAs), travel agencies, DMCs and wholesalers to 100+ pre-integrated hotel suppliers and more than 10 million properties, eliminating months of fragmented integrations.
The company offers two core solutions—Zentrum Connect and the Zentrum Booking Engine—which serve 90+ enterprise customers across 30+ countries while processing more than 50 million API calls daily with 99.99% uptime.
The partnership with RateGain reinforces ZentrumHub’s long-term vision of creating a seamless and scalable hotel distribution ecosystem. By combining their technology platforms, both companies aim to accelerate connectivity, simplify hotel distribution and enhance access to global travel supply and demand networks.
