The road to property recovery with the Connectivity Partner Programme

Which products are relevant to my properties?

We understand that countries around the world are facing different challenges. We’ve mapped countries into three groups based on the different situations they may be facing. 

1. Lockdown: Countries that are strongly limiting travelling and movement of people
2. Recovery: Countries that are seeing domestic travel slowly pick up 
3. Back to business: Countries that are experiencing higher levels of demand 

As of 1 July, you’ll be able to find this country mapping information in the Portal, under the ‘Reports’ tab in the Portal or via a button in the Opportunities page. We’re using data models and checking with our local Booking.com offices to decide where each country falls. Please note that countries may move back and forth between these groups. We advise you to stay up to date with the information and regularly check how countries are moving across the different groups. 

Based on where your properties are located, different lists of recovery products might be relevant. Check the Connectivity Recovery Toolkit to find out which products can help your properties based on the country they’re in. Please note that we’re updating the Connectivity Recovery Toolkit continuously and some products might not be added yet. 

Disclaimer: The information we share about country mapping does not reflect the official situation or position of a country. Assumptions made in the analysis are not reflective of any entity other than Booking.com. The country mapping data is subject to change or revision at any time. We’re not accountable and won’t be held responsible for any decisions you may make based on the country mapping information. We can’t guarantee the accuracy of the subject information and can’t accept any liability for any errors or omissions, nor can you derive any rights from it. The data shared is commercial and can only be used internally. This data should not be shared with properties. 

What advice do we have to reach out to your properties?

Here are three ways you can support your properties:

1. Send an email campaign: We’ve created a package of ready-to-use copy so you can send out emails to your properties to help them through recovery. Contact your Partner Business Manager or submit a request to receive this package. 
2. Call your properties and show your support: We know from research that combining an email with a personal call increases your impact. A phone conversation shows empathy and is a great way to connect with your properties on a more human level. 
3. Adopt the Opportunities API and Promotions API: By adopting the Opportunities API, you can share the list of recovery products with your properties directly in your system. The Promotions API also allows your properties to set up rates in your system. These are scalable ways to give properties commercial advice relevant to them, and to enable them to offer competitive prices.
