What It Is
This channel represents the distribution pathway formerly known as Travelocity's Global Hotel Exchange (GHE), which has since been consolidated under the Lastminute.com brand. Travelocity and Lastminute.com were both part of the Sabre Holdings family, with Travelocity distributing hotel content — including inventory from its global hotel network — through various branded channels. The GHE designation referred to Travelocity's wholesale or global hotel content distribution mechanism, through which hotel inventory was made available across Travelocity-affiliated platforms.
Who It Serves
This channel serves hotels that were previously integrated via the Travelocity GHE distribution pathway and whose connectivity has transitioned to the Lastminute.com brand. It is relevant for properties with existing Travelocity-era agreements or integrations who need to understand the current state of that distribution relationship under the Lastminute.com umbrella.
Connecting and Distributing
Hotels connected through this channel should confirm the current technical and commercial configuration with their channel manager or connectivity provider, as the transition from Travelocity GHE to Lastminute.com branding may have changed integration endpoints or agreement terms. Rate management, content, and availability should be reviewed to ensure accurate representation under the current Lastminute.com channel infrastructure.
