Expedia Affiliate Network partners with Travelbug

New Zealand online travel agent Travelbug has started using Expedia Affiliate Network’s Chameleon platform to power its international hotels offering.

The switch comes as the company expands from its current domestic focus to sell hotels in destinations worldwide.

Travelbug already features more than 3,000 properties and activity options in New Zealand.

The Expedia Affiliate Network platform will provide access to 155,000 worldwide accommodation options.

Travelbug is part of the Trade Me family of websites, an online marketplace and classifieds business which serves around 65% of New Zealand webpages.

EAN Product and marketing vice president Benoit Jolin said: “Travelbug is one of New Zealand’s homegrown digital success stories, so we’re thrilled that our Chameleon platform will be powering its exciting expansion into international hotel bookings, offering a fast, robust browsing and booking experience to meet the needs of Travelbug’s customers.”
