What It Is
TOMAS Travel is a specialised travel distribution platform based in Germany that connects hotel properties to regional and city tourism websites across German-speaking Europe, with a dedicated focus on the Thuringia destination. Rather than functioning as a conventional OTA, TOMAS acts as an intermediary between local tourism offices and accommodation providers, enabling destination-level booking portals to display live availability and rates.
Who It Serves and How to Connect
TOMAS Travel serves accommodation properties in tourist regions who want to be bookable through official destination and city tourism websites. Connectivity is managed via XML integration; hotels typically connect through their existing channel manager rather than contracting with TOMAS directly. Instead, properties hold contracts with their regional or city tourism organisation, which in turn handles the TOMAS relationship. The platform provides connection credentials — including hotel IDs, client credentials, and room codes — via a structured data file.
Specialty and Region
TOMAS specialises in destination-driven distribution for German-speaking Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Its Thuringia channel is particularly suited to properties wanting visibility on official regional tourism booking portals, making it especially valuable for independent hotels and guesthouses in central German destinations.
