LONDON, UK: eviivo, the all-in-one property and booking management platform for hotels, B&Bs, serviced apartments, short-term rentals and other independent accommodations, has announced a new integration with Dida, a leading APAC B2B travel distributor.
The eviivo integration enables eligible independent hotels to distribute live rates and availability to Dida’s network of more than 40,000 travel distributors directly from eviivo Suite.
The new eviivo integration is designed to help independent properties access growing APAC travel demand without adding operational complexity.
Through the connection, hotels can expand their international distribution while continuing to manage their bookings and operations through eviivo Suite.
eviivo Connects Independent Hotels With APAC Travel Demand
As APAC outbound travel continues to grow, independent hotels are increasingly seeking practical ways to increase their visibility among travellers across the region.
Expedia Group research found that 65% of travel professionals expect APAC travel demand for their business to increase over the next two to three years.
The eviivo and Dida integration gives accommodation providers a way to connect with this growing audience through a specialist B2B distribution partner.
For independent hotels, expanding into new international markets can create additional operational complexity without the right technology.
The integration connects Dida’s specialist B2B distribution reach directly to eviivo, allowing a property’s live rates and availability to reach Dida’s network of travel agents, tour operators, airlines and closed-user groups across APAC and more than 200 global source markets.
Bookings generated through the Dida channel are prepaid and automatically flow directly into the property’s eviivo reservation calendar alongside existing channels.
Combined with eviivo’s deep OTA connectivity and all-in-one property management tools, the integration provides hotels with a connected way to manage international demand.
Hotels can manage bookings, channels, payments, guest communications, accounting and reporting within eviivo. The integration is intended to allow independent properties to broaden their distribution while keeping their day-to-day operations within a single platform.

Channel Manager Supports Multi-Channel Distribution
By managing distribution across major OTAs, GDS and direct-booking websites from a single platform, the eviivo Channel Manager keeps rates and availability aligned across connected channels.
The platform reduces duplicate manual updates, helps prevent overbookings and maintains consistency across connected distribution channels.
For smaller hotel teams, eviivo provides a way to expand into new international markets without introducing a separate workflow.
At the same time, hotels retain control over their pricing, policies and day-to-day operations. This enables independent properties to manage their distribution strategy while maintaining their existing operational processes.
Dida Connects Hotels With More Than 40,000 B2B Distributors
Dida positions itself as the No.1 B2B outbound player in China and a leading APAC B2B travel distributor.
The company connects partners to more than 40,000 B2B distributors, with a portfolio comprising 2.2 million travel products and more than 110,000 directly contracted properties.
The eviivo partnership with Dida gives eligible independent hotels access to this specialist B2B travel distribution network. B2B demand is often valued by hotels because these guests typically book earlier, stay longer, cancel less frequently and spend more.
As part of a broader distribution strategy, the partnership gives independent hotels another way to diversify demand. The Dida channel complements direct bookings, OTAs, GDS platforms and other wholesale channels with specialist B2B distribution.
Customers Can Access Key APAC Source Markets
For eviivo customers, the partnership provides a route into key APAC source markets, including China, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and Australia.
The integration is designed to help properties broaden their international reach without adding unnecessary administration. Hotels can access APAC-led and global B2B demand while continuing to manage inventory, bookings and operations through eviivo Suite.
“Independent hotels want to diversify demand, but they also need technology that keeps operations simple,” said Gwenael Merlin, Executive Vice President of Strategic Solutions at eviivo.
“Industry research shows that technology limitations remain one of the biggest obstacles to engaging APAC travel, so it’s essential that expanding distribution doesn’t create additional operational complexity.
Dida brings outstanding reach across APAC’s B2B travel ecosystem, while eviivo Suite gives customers one place to manage distribution, bookings, payments and guest communications.
Together, we are helping properties access valuable international demand while keeping day-to-day operations simple, centralised and under their control.”
Luca Plotegher, Director – Director of Hotel Partnerships at Dida, added: “Independent hotels continue to look for new ways to connect with international travellers through trusted B2B travel channels.
Our partnership with eviivo makes it easier for eligible properties to access Dida’s global travel trade network while continuing to manage inventory and operations through the platform they already rely on.
Together, we are helping hotels reach APAC-led and global B2B demand through a simpler, more streamlined approach.”
Mechaal Saleh, Managing Director at The Chapter Hotels said: “As an independent hotel business, we’re always looking to diversify where our bookings come from without making life more complicated for our team.
Being able to access Dida’s specialist B2B network across the APAC region while managing availability, bookings and day-to-day operations through eviivo Suite gives us a practical way to broaden our distribution while keeping everything in one place.”
Initially Available in UK and Europe
The Dida connection is available to eligible eviivo customers, initially supporting hotels across the UK and Europe. North America is planned to follow, subject to tax and payment testing.
Through the integration, eviivo customers can use their existing eviivo Suite environment to manage their distribution and bookings while gaining access to Dida’s B2B travel network across APAC and global source markets.
