ONEE Luxury Travel's new B2B2C distribution platform is a major breakthrough in the facilitation of bookings between luxury rental property managers and travel agents. No intermediaries, a vetted platform and direct engagement between the industry's most well-respected professionals. Finally, the industry has a sophisticated marketplace for global luxury travel with a hopeful resurgence for travel agents at its core.

With ambitious technology and functionalities to streamline the process of finding, booking and advertising luxury holiday rentals, ONEE is a global platform facilitating the luxury market. Commission negotiations for agents are time-consuming, whilst distribution rates for property managers are costly and ONEE competitively challenges these issues. Founder and interim-CEO, Onur Takmak, who is a well-regarded private equity investor and passionate traveller, refers to the portal as: “A distribution revolution in luxury travel.”  

Although ONEE's online platform is publicly accessible, all functionalities and most of the inventory is available only to vetted travel agents once logged in to the closed and secure site. As a primarily B2B platform, ONEE directs any organic traveller enquiries to qualified travel agents in its existing network, as guests cannot make reservations themselves. This further accentuates ONEE's clear commitment to “well-advised travel” and the value the ONEE network of agents can offer.

At a time when consumer confidence is low due to the Covid-19 crisis, ONEE aim to bring trust and transparency to the travel marketplace. ONEE offers the industry's most streamlined experience to date and aspire to be the leading marketplace for travel professionals to find and book luxury rental properties worldwide. Constant regulation changes mean flexible booking options and competent management is more important than ever. Unlike other booking engines, ONEE prioritise the experience of the travel agent, acknowledging their integral role in a fluid and successful holiday.

Travel Agents

At a time when many professional travel agents are being pushed out by digitalisation and the growth of OTAs, ONEE champions well-advised travel and puts travel agents at the core of the business. As a B2B platform, only professional travel agents have access to ONEE's curated property portfolio and agents can be eligible for Platinum levels gaining exclusive access to off-market property listings.

ONEE not only provides travel agents with access to a global portfolio of hand-picked and professionally managed luxury properties, but also visibility of commission rates for each property and a seamless booking process. The new state-of-the-art portal features a variety of robust tools that are specifically designed to facilitate travel agent's workload when finding and booking luxury holiday rentals. These range from creating traveller profiles and travel parties to smart searches and invoicing.

With every property listed on ONEE carefully checked, travel agents can rest assured that each holiday home they present to a client is of the highest standard- whether it be a penthouse apartment in New York, the ultimate ski chalet in Val d'Isère or an Italian villa in the rolling Tuscan hills. As well as access to a world-class portfolio of properties, travel agents can also look forward to several other benefits and features with ONEE, including:

• Guaranteed commission rates - without the hassle of negotiation and transparent from the start
• Efficiency - safely and securely find and book properties from a global portfolio with ONEE's enhanced search engine. Save search results, shortlist favourites and professionally showcase options to clients

Property Managers

Working with ONEE's vetted travel advisors around the world, property managers have access to a global network of high-net-worth clients allowing them to attract the right clientele for each specific home they look after. ONEE allows property managers to easily monitor their portfolio performance via their account dashboard.  The new platform also gives them the tools to take an active role in increasing occupancy, most notably being able to set dynamic travel agent commission rates.
