Hotelbeds, the world’s largest bedbank, has announced a preferred partnership with YaVas, an OTA founded by Volaris, Mexico’s ultra-low-cost airline, that allows travellers to locate everything they need in one place and have an unparalleled travel experience.
YaVas is a one-stop booking engine that allows travellers to purchase airline tickets, hotel rooms, check-in and carry-on luggage, as well as transfers and unique experiences.
This agreement strengthens Hotelbeds’ position in the Americas, particularly in Colombia, Central America, Mexico, and the US source markets, thanks to Volaris and YaVas’ strong positions in those countries.
