Charlotte Gannon • Dec 05, 2023

Bókun is proud to announce that we have been awarded GetYourGuide’s Premium Connectivity Status in recognition of our commitment to innovation and improvement within the experience economy. 

GetYourGuide, one of the world’s leading platforms to discover, book and sell travel experiences, names Bókun as Premium Connectivity Partner for 2024. Selected from nearly 200 companies we are extremely proud to be recognised for our hard work in connecting the travel industry.


What is Premium Connectivity?


Premium partners were evaluated based on overall excellence, including technical capabilities, quality of connections over time, feature richness and user experience enhancements. 


Premium partners offer businesses the most comprehensive and trustworthy API integrations as well as the highest standard of reliability, with less than 1% error rate. 

“We are thrilled to be announced as GetYourGuide's Premium Connectivity Partner 2024, a recognition that underscores Bókun's unwavering commitment to technical excellence. At Bókun, we take immense pride in our technical API set, a testament to our dedication to providing top-notch solutions for our partners” says Jeannie Peacock-Putt, General Manager at Bókun.


“Our commitment to distribution and connectivity in the global, regional, and local Experiences market is at the core of what sets Bókun apart. Through seamless OTA connections, the Bókun marketplace, and tools such as our booking agents area, we ensure that our partners have exceptional access to distribution channels. Additionally, our Booking and Channel Management API products are best in class, offering robust solutions for the diverse needs of our clients.”


“The valued relationship we've cultivated with GetYourGuide since 2017 is a testament to our collaborative spirit to help pioneer the travel experiences industry. Bókun continues to provide suppliers with a seamless connection” said Peacock-Putt.


GetYourGuide defined Premium Connectivity Partners as "honorees chosen for their commitment to innovation and improvement in the growing experience economy, predicted to be a $1.5 trillion opportunity by the end of 2024."

Bókun will receive enhanced visibility on the GetYourGuide platform, which reaches millions of travellers globally, and additional collaboration projects to continue to move the travel industry forward.
