We ve all been there: you book a non-refundable hotel room, life happens, plans change, and the hotel/OTA keeps 100% of your money.
Tomorrow (Wednesday), we re officially launching Avago v1.0 a secondary marketplace where travelers can safely transfer non-refundable hotel reservations with built-in buyer escrow and fraud protection.
An unexpected dynamic we're seeing: Because hotel prices surge closer to the check-in date (especially during peak seasons, conferences, or festivals), booking early creates a unique market opportunity:
Every year, millions of travelers lose money on non-refundable hotel rooms they can't use. Avago solves this by creating the first global secondary market for hotel bookings. Travelers can resell non-refundable rooms at a discount, and hotels can list unsold inventory. Uniquely, our platform empowers users to submit direct bids, allowing them to name their own price for accommodations.
