 The CCRA Advantage

CCRA International is a vital marketing and distribution channel for travel suppliers.
Partnering with CCRA will extend your sales reach to our powerful travel agent market.


CCRA Rate Program Through the GDS

Your hotel can be promoted to travel agents throughout the world by participating in our hotel program. Our 22,000 plus travel agencies consider this program a benchmark that competing consortia cannot match. Rates are mapped to the GDS and bookable via any of the four major GDS’s and the CCRAtravel.com portal. Participating hotels will be listed in the online directory accessible to all travel agent members. We support 10% off corporate, Best Available Rates (BAR), discounts off BAR, and Last Room Availability.

CCRAtravel.com Booking Portal
Our online hotel booking portal provides travel agent members the most attractive inventory of hotels in one convenient place. Our booking portal also serves as a means for securing reservations for those agents that don’t have access to the GDS. All hotels and all rate types are accessible, but agents can easily sort to see CCRA negotiated rate hotels exclusively. The portal is exclusive to CCRA agent members and is password protected.
