Tourico Holidays, the Orlando-based wholesale travel brokerage company, has shared first-half data for 2016 revealing the company is on pace to broker more than 1.2 million hotel room nights through its airline partners in 2016 – a 50% increase since 2014. Tourico currently works with more than 10 major airline carriers throughout the world, providing them with access to valuable hotel inventory that can be packaged and sold with flights, as well as other travel offerings.

Tourico Holidays’ airline partners – which serve over 700 destinations across six continents – are not only provided access to Tourico’s global hotel inventory, but also to a wide selection of cruises, car rentals, activities and more. The company currently offers access to over 120,000 hotels in over 4,500 cities.

“For the past 10 years, we’ve been able to help our airline partners open valuable new revenue streams by allowing them to bundle flights and hotels for virtually any destination in the world,” said Jason Soss, President of Global Business Development for Tourico Holidays. “So far in 2016, our airline clients are selling nearly 100,000 hotel room nights per month.”
