Plan and prioritise
What’s in store for 2022
We used your feedback to update the Connectivity Partner Programme for 2022. Expect more visibility to help you track your performance, plus more changes.
Important deprecation updates
We’ve begun deprecating a few API features related to the Contracting and Photos APIs, and on 15 February will be deprecating these additional API options, which will eventually sunset – HotelierMessage, Licences and Children Policies V1. Review our deprecation schedule to make sure you’ve lined up alternatives – or have implemented any available workarounds – for all deprecations in the coming year.
Improve your properties’ performance
Make the most of gradual recovery in Asia-Pacific

Traveller Review Awards 2022
This year’s Traveller Review Awards celebrates the incredible hospitality of more than 1.25 million Booking.com partners around the world – and almost 375,000 of them are connected. Find out how they make the difference.
A deep dive into pricing
We’ve expanded rates to include longer stay options, pricing per guest, and children rates – among other pricing improvements. You can help your partners embrace them with our new Pricing Foundations handbook. Designed exclusively for providers, it outlines key benefits for your properties around these new options and shows you how to utilise them for preferred outcomes.
Grow, onboard or switch new properties
Announcing our 2022 Provider Innovation Fund
The Provider Innovation Fund rewards Connectivity Partners for choosing to grow and innovate with us. In 2022, the fund will focus on four key areas – increasing supply in targeted regions, improving the onboarding experience, optimising availability and pricing and increasing bookings via Mobile and Country Rates.
Connect properties more quickly than ever
Connecting new properties from our platform to yours doesn’t need to take a lot of time. Our Connection Solutions make it quick and easy for properties to connect or switch to your platform, and for you to connect multiple properties at once.
Partner Innovation Fund success stories
This past year, our Provider Innovation Fund supported over 300 projects. But it’s not over yet. Premier partners can take advantage of the 2021 fund until 31 March, when we’ll restart the programme for 2022. We’ve already seen some notable successes from providers, and we’re looking forward to seeing more proposals submitted before the deadline.
