What Vervotech does for Travco

• Canonical hotel IDs. Each Travco property resolves to a single Vervotech hotel ID shared with every other connected supplier.
• Room-level mapping. Identical room types from Travco collapse with peer suppliers' equivalents into a canonical room ID, so you can shop rates without duplicate inventory.
• Continuous refresh. Static and dynamic Travco content is pulled on a recurring cycle, so newly contracted properties enter the mapped catalog without engineering work.
• One REST endpoint. Call Travco content through the same Vervotech endpoint that serves the rest of your supplier mix.
• Bedbank deduplication. Where Travco overlaps with peer bedbanks on the same property, Vervotech keeps a single canonical record and exposes both rate options under one listing.

How the Travco integration works

1. Ingest. Vervotech pulls the Travco hotel content feed on a continuous refresh cycle. Both static (hotel attributes) and structural (room and board types) data are captured.
2. Normalize. Travco's schema is mapped to a canonical Vervotech model. Currency, language, geocoding, and amenity vocabularies are standardized.
3. Resolve. Every Travco property is matched to a canonical Vervotech hotel ID using deterministic rules (address, geocode, name) and ML scoring trained on 3M+ properties.
4. Deduplicate rooms. Equivalent room types from Travco are collapsed with peer supplier rooms into a canonical room ID.
5. Expose. Travco content is reachable through one Vervotech REST endpoint, mixed with the rest of your supplier inventory.

Travco in depth

Travco is a UK-based hotel wholesaler and destination management operator active across Europe, the UK, and increasingly the Middle East. The Travco API distributes contracted hotel rates from a portfolio spanning around 100,000 properties, with particular strength in Egypt, Turkey, the UK, and Continental Europe. Travco is best known to trade agents through the Travco Portal and to system integrators through its XML feeds and later REST endpoints.

Vervotech consumes the Travco API on the same footing as 400+ other hotel suppliers. You call one Vervotech REST endpoint. We handle the Travco session, the XML request envelope where required, and the property catalog sync. Your rooms and rates come back with canonical Vervotech hotel IDs, so a Travco property is instantly comparable to the same hotel from Hotelbeds, Expedia Rapid, or any other supplier in your stack.

Travco API endpoints, mapped through Vervotech

The Travco API exposes a hotel search-book-cancel funnel and a small set of reference methods. Vervotech reads every one of them and returns the merged result through a single REST call, so you never touch Travco's XML envelope directly.

How you connect Travco through Vervotech in 5 steps

1. Step 1. Sign up for Vervotech. Create a Vervotech account and grab your REST API key. 7-day free trial, no credit card.
2. Step 2. Enable Travco in your dashboard. Toggle Travco on. Plug your Travco API credentials into the Vervotech dashboard. Vervotech can help route the Travco partnership request if you do not have credentials yet.
3. Step 3. Sync property IDs. Vervotech maps every Travco property code to a canonical Vervotech hotel_id. You get a CSV or an API endpoint to reconcile your existing IDs with ours.
4. Step 4. Call the unified shopping endpoint. One HTTPS POST returns rates from Travco, Hotelbeds, Expedia Rapid, and every other supplier you have enabled. Compare margins per room across suppliers in a single JSON response.
5. Step 5. Book via the Vervotech booking API. Pass the room token. Vervotech follows the Travco search-check-book chain on your behalf and returns the booking reference plus cancellation and modification links on the canonical booking record.

Travco API access and eligibility

Travco API access is granted through the Travco commercial team following a distribution agreement. Test credentials are provided after sign-off. Vervotech-mapped customers keep their commercial relationship with Travco and use their own credentials on the Vervotech dashboard; Vervotech is the technical integration layer, not the commercial counterparty.
