Towards the end of the summer, TripAdisor users will have the ability to book hotel rooms from Marriott’s vast network of 4,200 properties within the TripAdvisor Instant Booking site. ‘We welcome Marriott to the Instant Booking platform, which provides travelers with a new, simplified booking functionality and an opportunity for Marriott to expand its relationship with guests before, during and after the trip,’ said Stephen Kaufer, president and CEO of TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor’s Instant Booking service debuted in June of last year and said is slowly adding overseas locations to the platform.
