AMSTERDAM, Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Today Booking.com, the global leader in online
travel making it easier for everyone to experience the world,
announced a year-long partnership with Google Nest aimed at helping
to build a more connected and seamless trip experience for
travelers and hosts. The partnership will encompass offers and
incentives for Booking.com customers as well as enhancements for
partners that will help make it easier to deliver a premium
experience to guests.
The first element of the partnership will kick off with an
exclusive offer for U.S. based travelers, to give a head start on
experiencing the world in 2020. Guests who book a stay on
Booking.com between December 26, 2019
through January 5, 2020 with a
minimum spend of $150 will receive a
free Google Nest Mini by using the promo code GOOGLENEST. Bookers
will be able to use the Google Nest Mini as a helpful tool for
travel with specifics, such as: flight times, weather, and
translation. More information on the promotion, along with terms
and conditions, can be found at
www.booking.com/googlenest.html.
With 29 million total listings on Booking.com, including more
than 6.2 million listings of homes, apartments and other unique
places to stay, the partnership will continue with programs that
focus on making hosting with Booking.com even easier. These
programs will focus on providing partners with access to product
and installation services that include Google Nest devices for
their property.
Shared insights from Booking.com and Google show guests and
hosts are increasingly looking for enhancements in the alternative
accommodation segment as it relates to the safety, security, and
ease of the experience. Smart products including keyless locks,
energy-saving thermostats and voice assistant devices improve the
guest's stay and deliver more value for the homeowner. This
partnership will also complement existing product features that can
be found on Booking.com such as the recently announced quality
ratings product. These ratings allow guests to make even more
informed choices about the properties they book, stay and
enjoy.
Arjan Dijk, Senior Vice President
and Chief Marketing Officer of Booking.com said: "Booking.com and
Google have been strategic partners for many years and we are
delighted to deepen our relationship further with such an
integrated partnership that will help build an even more connected
guest and host experience on Booking.com. The partnership will not
only provide consumers with incentives to book a stay on
Booking.com, but will also provide our partners with access to
product and installation services that include Google Nest devices,
to help their property deliver an amazing experience for
Booking.com guests."
Booking.com and Google Nest will announce additional elements of
the partnership that will help make it easier for everyone to
experience the world over the coming months. To book your next trip
