London, 23 September 2026-HBX Group (HBX.SM), a leading B2B travel technology marketplace, today announced the launch of Growth Accelerator, a new self-service commercial toolkit designed to give hotel partners greater control over how they capture demand and drive growth across HBX Group’s global B2B travel marketplace.&nbsp;Available through HBX Group’s Partner Portal, Growth Accelerator brings together three complementary tools that enable hotels to take targeted commercial action according to their individual business objectives, whether they are looking to increase visibility, drive bookings during specific periods or attract demand from priority source markets.&nbsp;Rather than applying the same commercial strategy across every market or throughout the year, hotels can use Growth Accelerator to identify and activate the growth levers most relevant to their needs. The toolkit enables partners to manage these initiatives directly, while continuing to benefit from the expertise and guidance of HBX Group’s commercial experts.&nbsp;Growth Accelerator currently brings together three capabilities:Visibility Campaigns help hotels increase exposure in selected source markets, connecting properties with relevant travel buyers and supporting demand opportunities through targeted marketing activity.Incentive Booster enables hotels to activate targeted commercial incentives for selected periods, inventory and rate plans, helping improve competitiveness and drive incremental demand when it is needed most.Market Groups allow hotels to group countries and create market-specific offers, giving them greater flexibility to focus promotional strategies on priority source markets and diversify their business mix.&nbsp;Xabier Zabala, Chief Sourcing &amp; Commercial Services Officer at HBX Group, said: “Every hotel has unique commercial needs, and those needs change throughout the year. Growth Accelerator gives our hotel partners greater control over the activation of growth opportunities and how and when they act on those opportunities. Whether they want to increase visibility, drive bookings for specific periods or strengthen their position in particular source markets, they can now choose the approach that best fits their objectives and manage it directly through the Partner Portal.&nbsp;“Technology is only part of the equation. Our commercial experts will continue to work closely with hotel partners to understand their objectives and identify the right strategy. By combining that expertise with greater flexibility and self-service capabilities, Growth Accelerator makes it easier for partners to turn commercial opportunities into action and ultimately business growth.”&nbsp;The launch reflects HBX Group’s continued focus on using technology, data and the reach of its global B2B travel marketplace to simplify how partners do business. By bringing multiple commercial levers together in one place, Growth Accelerator enables hotels to respond more dynamically to changing demand and make more targeted commercial decisions across HBX Group’s global network.&nbsp;###&nbsp;About HBX GroupHBX Group is a leading global B2B travel technology marketplace that owns and operates Hotelbeds, Bedsonline, The Luxurist, Roiback, Civitfun and PerfectStay.

HBX Group launches Growth Accelerator to give hotels greater control over their growth strategies

London, 6 October 2026-HBX Group (HBX.SM), a leading B2B travel technology marketplace, has partnered with Bioscore, a sustainability certification scheme owner and ESG management specialist for the tourism sector, to help more hotels access recognised sustainability certification.&nbsp;The collaboration forms part of the HBX Group Sustainable Certified Hotels Programme, the company’s wider framework for promoting the adoption and visibility of sustainability certifications aligned with recognised international standards across its hotel portfolio. While the programme already identifies and promotes hotels that hold recognised certifications, the collaboration with Bioscore focuses on helping non-certified establishments to determine whether they have incorporated ESG criteria into their management practices.&nbsp;Through the partnership, hotel partners interested in certification will be supported by Bioscore in helping them understand the BIOSCORE sustainability scheme requirements and organise the data and evidence needed for independent evaluation. By connecting hotels with dedicated certification expertise, HBX Group aims to make the path towards recognised sustainability certification more accessible and actionable for its partners, particularly small and medium-sized hotel businesses that may not have the internal resources or specialist ESG capabilities to manage the process independently.&nbsp;The initiative marks the first collaboration of its kind between HBX Group and a sustainability certification scheme owner, supporting the company’s ambition to increase the number of sustainability-certified properties across its portfolio.&nbsp;Elena Pérez, Chief HR, Comms &amp; ESG Officer at HBX Group, said: “Hotels are facing growing expectations to demonstrate their sustainability progress in a way that is credible and transparent, but navigating the certification journey can be complex. As a partner to hotels around the world, we can help make that journey easier. Through our Sustainable Certified Hotels Programme and our collaboration with Bioscore, we aim to make recognised sustainability certification more accessible to hotels across our portfolio by providing a clear route to expert guidance and support throughout the process.”&nbsp;The partnership comes as expectations around the transparency and credibility of sustainability claims continue to increase. New EU consumer protection rules, applicable from 27 September 2026, strengthen requirements around environmental claims and sustainability labels displayed to consumers, reinforcing the importance of credible, independently verified certification.&nbsp;Víctor Monzón, CEO of Bioscore, said: “Hotels need a clear way to substantiate what they communicate, particularly as EU rules tighten restrictions on generic environmental claims and sustainability labels. Through this collaboration, we support HBX Group’s hotel partners throughout the certification process, helping them understand the requirements and organise the data and evidence for evaluation by independent certification bodies.”&nbsp;The collaboration reflects the growing importance of sustainability certification across the travel industry. HBX Group continues to grow its portfolio of recognised sustainable hotels, responding to market trends that favour certified properties. Through this partnership with Bioscore, HBX Group aims to further strengthen and expand its portfolio of certified hotels, enhancing transparency and helping travellers make more informed accommodation choices.&nbsp;Participation in the initiative is voluntary for hotels. HBX Group will continue to recognise sustainability certifications aligned with internationally recognised standards and frameworks, such as the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and Travalyst.&nbsp;###&nbsp;About HBX GroupHBX Group is a leading global B2B travel technology marketplace that owns and operates Hotelbeds, Bedsonline+, The Luxurist, Roiback, Civitfun and PerfectStay.

HBX Group and Virtuoso expand global partnership to enhance luxury travel offering

London, 2 September 2026.- HBX Group (HBX.SM), a leading B2B travel technology marketplace, and Vorsee (by ZYTLYN Technologies AG), the Swiss travel AI company behind the ActionOS platform, today announced a strategic partnership to bring Vorsee's predictive travel intelligence and agentic AI capabilities to HBX Group's hotel partners.&nbsp;Through the partnership, Vorsee ActionOS will be embedded across HBX Group's hotel technology ecosystem, including the Partner Portal, Roiback and Civitfun, bringing predictive capabilities and specialised AI agents into the technology environments hotel partners already use. The integration combines Vorsee's forecasting expertise with HBX Group's extensive marketplace data, enabling hotels to anticipate market shifts and make better-informed commercial decisions.&nbsp;Hotel teams operate in an environment shaped by changing demand patterns, evolving source markets, event-driven travel and macroeconomic volatility. Traditional reporting explains what has already happened; this partnership is designed to help hotels anticipate what comes next and respond with confidence.&nbsp;Vorsee ActionOS combines travel-specific data, forecasting models, live travel signals and specialised AI agents operating within defined permissions and controls. Enhanced by HBX Group's proprietary demand and booking data, the solution can analyse market signals, generate recommendations and, where appropriate, help execute actions across areas such as demand forecasting, pricing, revenue management, distribution and marketing.&nbsp;Integrated directly into the HBX Group ecosystem, these capabilities support the commercial, digital and operational activities hotels manage every day. For example, a hotel could identify a demand surge from a specific source market before it becomes visible in its own booking data, allowing it to adjust pricing, marketing and inventory allocation earlier.&nbsp;The result is more connected path from market signal to commercial action, helping hotels identify opportunities earlier, focus on the most valuable source markets and make better-informed decisions across revenue, marketing and distribution.&nbsp;For HBX Group, the partnership represents another step in its strategy to expand beyond travel distribution by combining marketplace connectivity, data, AI and hotel technology into a more integrated offering for hotel partners. By embedding these capabilities within the solutions hotels already rely on, the partnership aims to make AI more practical and accessible across everyday commercial decision-making.&nbsp;Javier Cabrerizo, Chief Strategy, Transformation &amp; AI Officer at HBX Group, said: "Our industry has spent decades looking in the rear-view mirror, reacting to demand instead of anticipating it. Together with Vorsee, we are giving hotels predictive intelligence that combines travel-specific forecasting models, live market signals and AI agents that turn insight into action, embedded directly into the workflows they already use. This is the change our industry needs, and what being AI-first really means."&nbsp;Houman Goudarzi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vorsee, said: "Vorsee ActionOS brings predictive travel intelligence and specialised AI agents into the platforms hotel teams already use, while HBX Group contributes the data, technology footprint and global reach needed to scale those capabilities across the industry.&nbsp;"Together, we can create a direct connection between identifying changes in the market and taking timely, controlled commercial action."&nbsp;###About HBX GroupHBX Group is a leading global B2B travel technology marketplace that owns and operates Hotelbeds, Bedsonline, The Luxurist, Roiback, Civitfun and PerfectStay.

HBX Group brings global accommodation supply to Sabre’s worldwide agency network

London, 1 July 2026 - Strong regional demand, improving air connectivity and the growing use of AI and data-driven insights are reshaping travel across the Americas, creating new opportunities for destinations and travel businesses despite continued geopolitical and economic uncertainty. These were some of the key insights shared at MarketHub Americas, the flagship event for the region organised byHBX Group (HBX.SM), a leading B2B travel technology marketplace.&nbsp;Held under the theme Unlocked, MarketHub brought together nearly 600 travel leaders, clients and partners from across the Americas for two days of strategic discussions, market intelligence and networking, exploring the forces shaping the region's next phase of growth.&nbsp;The discussions pointed to a clear conclusion: the Americas remain one of the world's most dynamic travel regions. Research presented by Tourism Economics forecasts global travel spending will reach $3.2 trillion by 2035, with inbound travel to the Americas expected to grow by around 50% over the next decade. Domestic travel will continue to account for the largest share of demand, but more than 70% of outbound trips are expected to remain within the region, reinforcing the growing importance of regional travel.&nbsp;Growth, however, is becoming more sophisticated. Today’s travellers increasingly expect personalised experiences, greater convenience and better value. Premium travel continues to outperform the wider market, while an additional 140 million households worldwide are expected to begin travelling by 2035, creating significant new opportunities for destinations and travel businesses that can better understand and anticipate changing demand.&nbsp;Another trend highlighted at MarketHub was the growing importance of regional travel, supported by stronger air connectivity across the Americas. According to data shared by Amadeus, air capacity in South America is expected to grow by 6% during the second half of the year, outpacing the rest of the region, while the Caribbean continues to strengthen its position as one of the world's strongest-performing tourism regions. The analysis also highlighted growing opportunities to attract higher-value travellers through more targeted, data-driven commercial strategies, helping destinations and travel businesses focus on the quality of demand as well as volume.&nbsp;Responding to these changing travel patterns will increasingly depend on technology. Throughout the event, speakers agreed that AI is moving rapidly from experimentation to practical application, helping businesses better understand traveller behaviour, improve personalisation and make faster, more informed decisions.&nbsp;Nicolas Huss, CEO of HBX Group, said: "The Americas continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience and long-term growth potential. What is changing is not travellers' desire to explore the world, but their expectations. Understanding demand more deeply, using data more intelligently and working more closely across the travel ecosystem will be essential to capturing the opportunities ahead. That is what MarketHub is about: bringing the industry together to share knowledge and help our partners prepare for what's next."&nbsp;For more than 13 years, MarketHub has brought together the global travel industry to combine thought leadership, market intelligence and networking. Today, MarketHub’s three annual editions bring together more than 1,400 participants from 50 source markets, making MarketHub one of the industry's leading invite-only B2B events for sharing insights, strengthening partnerships and exploring the future of travel.&nbsp;###About HBX GroupHBX Group is a leading global B2B travel technology marketplace that owns and operates Hotelbeds, Bedsonline, The Luxurist, Roiback Civitfun and PerfectStay.

 MarketHub Americas 2026: HBX Group brings together industry leaders to unlock travel's next chapter

HBX Group celebrates Pride Month by championing inclusivity and setting a new industrybenchmark for LGBTQ+ travel standards and education&nbsp;London, 4 June 2026.-HBX Group (HBX.SM), a leading B2B travel technology marketplace, has received the Queer Destinations Committed distinction, recognising its efforts to make travel more inclusive through awareness, education and service standards across its teams and partner network.The announcement coincides with Pride Month, a moment that highlights the importance of visibility, understanding, and collective action for the LGBTQ+ community.To achieve this distinction, HBX Group rolled out a dedicated employee training programme focused on building awareness and understanding of LGBTQ+ inclusion, as well as on how to embed these principles into the services provided to customers and partners. Participation reached close to 90 percent, a strong reflection of the engagement and commitment shown across the organisation.The Queer Destinations Committed programme recognises destinations and organisations that actively champion safe, respectful and trusted environments for LGBTQ+ individuals, whether they are travellers or part of the workforce, while ensuring teams have the knowledge and sensitivity needed to deliver those standards consistently.“This milestone reflects the progress we are making in embedding inclusion into the way we work, collaborate and support our partners across the travel ecosystem,” said Elena Pérez, Chief People &amp; ESG Officer at HBX Group. “It speaks to a shared belief that more inclusive travel starts with awareness, education and everyday actions across the entire value chain.”This distinction also marks a natural next step in HBX Group’s strategic alliance with Queer Destinations, which launched in September 2025. Earlier this year, HBX Group and Queer Destinations launched a first-of-its-kind conscious online travel platform (OTA), transforming how LGBTQ+ travellers and residents discover, trust, and spend with businesses and destinations worldwide.Building on the initiatives both organisations have already launched to expand access to conscious travel products, the distinction brings that same vision closer to HBX Group’s teams and partner community, laying the groundwork for future collaboration across the wider travel ecosystem.“The future of tourism depends on our ability to understand new generations and adapt to evolving market necessities,” said Edgar Weggelaar, CEO at Queer Destinations. “Companies and destinations that fail to welcome all types of travellers risk facing reputational challenges that can directly impact their image and credibility. This milestone is not only a step forwards for the industry; it also reinforces HBX Group’s leadership in attracting new markets through a more diverse, inclusive, and forward-thinking vision of tourism. Welcome, HBX Group, to this great family!”In this context, the distinction strengthens HBX Group’s ability to help partners deliver products and services that better reflect what today’s global travellers expect, while contributing to a more responsible and inclusive travel ecosystem.###About HBX GroupHBX Group is a leading global B2B travel technology marketplace that owns and operates Hotelbeds, Bedsonline, The Luxurist, Roiback, Civitfun and PerfectStay.
