Impala Hotel Booking API

Congrats on the launch @tobiasurff @charlie_cowley and team 🙌 The possibilities with Impala's Hotel Booking API are endless and will enable so many cool projects. We're planning on trying out an integration with our charity's platform to support unpaid carers in the UK. The impact could be huge!

For those who aren't familiar with the travel industry, GDS (global distribution system) is a super clunky outdated software developed 30+ years ago and still powers global travel supply. GDS is the software that sits between third parties (e.g. travel agents) and suppliers (e.g. hotels). In the age of SaaS and APIs this legacy tech should have been upgraded years ago but it's too challenging for the behemoths to pivot and evolve with so much at stake - this is a prototypical innovator's dilemma. Impala is the top contender to reimagine travel supply by connecting suppliers and distributors directly with a viable solution that's growing like crazy. At HotelTechReport.com we're constantly searching for disruptive tech like this and I can tell you it doesn't come often with most travel innovation being iterative rather than 0 to 1. LFG Impala.
