Key Takeaways
Avantio is officially recognized as a Preferred or Premier Connectivity Partner of Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, HomeToGo, and Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy.
For property managers, this means reliable sync, fewer errors, higher listing quality, and stronger visibility on global channels.
Preferred Partner status signals best-in-class connection quality, performance, onboarding, and property data accuracy — validated directly by each OTA.
Avantio = all-in-one PMS + Channel Manager + Website, backed by an ecosystem of top-tier OTA partnerships designed to support scalable, professional property management.
Why OTA partner status matters more than ever
Choosing the right software doesn’t just impact how smoothly your team works — it shapes how well your inventory performs across the largest booking channels in the world.
OTA connections aren’t all equal.
Two systems can offer “Airbnb connection” or “Booking.com sync,” but the underlying API quality determines everything: stability, speed, content accuracy, ranking potential, and even guest experience.
That’s why Preferred Partner programs exist.
And why Avantio has earned a top-tier place in each of them.
A proven network of Preferred Connectivity Partners
Avantio maintains long-standing collaborations with the world’s leading OTAs, resulting in Preferred or Premier Partner status across all major global channels:
What does “Preferred Partner” actually mean?
Each OTA has its own scoring system, but the core evaluation pillars are consistent:
How OTA partners evaluate software |
What property managers get |
| API stability & performance | More reliable sync |
| Real-time accuracy of content, pricing, availability | Stronger listing completeness |
| Listing quality (amenities, photos, taxonomies) | Fewer manual corrections |
| Onboarding quality & property performance | Faster onboarding to new channels |
| Adoption metrics across connected properties | Higher potential visibility in search results |
| Collaboration & innovation between teams | Confidence that your PMS meets OTA requirements at scale |
In short: Preferred Partner status is not marketing — it’s earned through ongoing performance across thousands of properties.
| OTA Partner | Avantio Status | Why this matters |
|---|---|---|
| Airbnb | Preferred Software Partner | Reliable connectivity + continuous feature updates |
| Booking.com | Premier Partner + Seamless Connection | Advanced functionality + top-tier speed and stability |
| Vrbo | Elite Connectivity Partner | Strong sync, promotions, reviews, and guided onboarding |
| HomeToGo | Preferred Connectivity | Extended reach in key European markets |
| Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy | Connectivity Partner | Access to premium, vetted demand |
