Eco Hotels and Resorts Limited, a pioneer in the carbon-neutral hospitality space, has announced a strategic partnership with My Travel Bazaar (MTB), a leading B2B travel tech platform. This collaboration is designed to create an integrated service model that combines sustainable stays with comprehensive travel logistics, offering a “one-stop shop” for travel agents and corporate clients.
The move marks Eco Hotels’ transition from being a standalone hotel operator to becoming a part of a larger, tech-enabled travel ecosystem. By leveraging My Travel Bazaar’s extensive distribution network and digital infrastructure, Eco Hotels aims to reach a broader audience of conscious travelers across India.
Key Features of the Integration:
-
Seamless Booking Engine: My Travel Bazaar will integrate Eco Hotels’ inventory into its proprietary B2B platform, allowing travel partners to book carbon-neutral stays alongside flights and local transport in a single transaction.
-
Curated Green Itineraries: The two entities will co-create sustainable travel packages that prioritize eco-friendly transport options and “slow travel” experiences centered around Eco Hotels’ properties.
-
Real-Time Inventory Access: The partnership provides MTB’s network of over 10,000 travel agents with real-time access to Eco Hotels’ room availability and dynamic pricing.
-
Joint Marketing Initiatives: The brands will launch co-branded campaigns targeting the corporate sector, focusing on CSR-aligned travel solutions for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Driving Sustainable Growth Vikram Doshi, Founder of Eco Hotels, noted that the partnership is a critical step in making sustainable hospitality more accessible. “Sustainability should not be a niche; it should be integrated into the mainstream travel workflow. By partnering with My Travel Bazaar, we are ensuring that the green choice is also the most convenient choice for travelers,” Doshi stated.
Market Context: The Indian travel market is seeing a surge in demand for integrated platforms that reduce the complexity of planning. For Eco Hotels, this partnership serves as a force multiplier for its ambitious plan to reach 5,000 rooms by 2030, ensuring that its sustainable inventory is backed by a robust, tech-led demand generation engine.
