PriceTravel Holding is accelerating its business-to-business expansion across the Middle East and GCC, with Total Transaction Value (TTV) generated by the region’s source markets rising 112% year-on-year in 2026 compared with 2025.
The Latin American travel distribution company is expanding
its Connect by PriceTravel strategy, which links hotels and travel suppliers
with B2B buyers and travel sellers globally. In the Middle East, the initiative
gives regional travel sellers access to PriceTravel Holding’s portfolio across
Mexico, the Caribbean, the US and Latin America, while the company develops
partnerships with regional suppliers for distribution through its international
network.
PriceTravel Holding currently has 16 active B2B clients across
the Middle East and GCC, adding six new partners over the past eight months.
Most are B2B specialists and wholesalers focused on hotel distribution,
supporting the company’s strategy of developing a network of specialised
regional partners.
Through Connect by PriceTravel, partners gain access to more
than 500,000 travel products worldwide, including over 57,000 hotels under
direct contracts and more than 200 airlines, including low-cost carriers and
NDC connections. The platform combines hotel and air content with dynamic
packaging, transfers, tours, car rental and travel assistance.
The company’s distribution services are supported by
proprietary, cloud-based technology with API and HTML connectivity. PriceTravel
Holding says its infrastructure provides more than 99.5% uptime, while 99% of
responses are delivered in under one second.
Data from the company also points to increasingly
international travel demand from Middle Eastern and GCC source markets. London
is the leading destination by production, with growth of 89% year-on-year,
followed by destinations including Paris, Madrid, New York, Orlando, San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Several destinations posted particularly strong gains, with
Paris rising 502%, Madrid 223%, Los Angeles 203%, San Francisco 136% and New
York 118%. The US recorded overall growth of about 51%, while the UK, France
and Spain remained important European markets.
Demand also extends across the Middle East and Asia, as well
as Latin American destinations such as São Paulo, Punta Cana, Santiago de
Chile, Lima, Cartagena and Medellín.
“The Middle East is no longer simply a market we are looking
to enter — it is becoming an increasingly important part of our global B2B
distribution strategy. The 112% increase in transaction value, together with
the rapid growth of our regional partner network, demonstrates that there is
real commercial demand for more connected, international hotel distribution.
Our ambition with Connect by PriceTravel is to build that bridge in both
directions: bringing the Americas to Middle Eastern travel sellers while
opening our global network to high-quality supply and partnerships from the
region,” says Yulia Chutaeva, Head of Sales EMEA & APAC, PriceTravel
Holding.
The company aims to deepen access to its Americas portfolio
while building partnerships with Middle Eastern hotels and suppliers, creating
a two-way distribution channel for regional and international travel content.
