Stuba has reported that the migration of Travel Advisors from roomsXML and Getabed into the new Stuba platform has been a huge success for them.
The accommodation company puts its success down to it remaining 100% trade only throughout and its successful relationship with agents.
Chief Commercial Officer, Matt Stuart confirmed that as of the first week February we have 100% of roomsXML Advisors and 76% of getabed Advisors on the Stuba platform.
“This achievement in a record time of 9 months since announcing the merger wouldn’t have been possible without the love shown by the Advisors to come on this exciting journey with us.”

Mark Luckey, Stuba Pacific MD sid the centralisation of activities continued to drive pricing improvements.
“Streamlining operations lowers costs, improves uptime and allows us to drive sharper pricing with our ever grower supplier network,” he said.
“Advisors are reporting price benefits of between 5% and 10% to their existing suppliers.”
Stuart said Travel Advisors would continue to be their focus, and that they thrive on feedback.
“Our teams around the globe have been working really hard to ensure that Advisors are visited, comfortable with the site and converting to bookings within record time,” he said.
“It’s been a huge success and the feedback from Advisors has been phenomenal, we really couldn’t have hoped for better.”
