Build, Extend, and Integrate
on Your Own Terms
We believe in being as useful as we possibly can. That’s why we’re building an API-first platform where every capability is designed to be accessible, connectable, and ready to evolve. With modern REST APIs and an emerging MCP layer, you and your partners get the tools to integrate, automate, and power the next generation of AI-driven and connected guest experiences.

Management API
Run day-to-day operations with direct system control. Manage operational data and workflows through APIs designed to support administration, updates, and connected business processes.
One Platform, Endless Possibilities
Our platform jacks straight into your existing infrastructure and gets it talking. With our Open APIs, you’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all solution. You have the freedom to innovate, connect the tech you already love, and shape our systems around your business—not the other way around. This flexibility allows you to create more efficient operations, deliver captivating guest experiences, and build a truly connected destination.

- Package and Innovate: Combine products and services to create unique, high-converting offers.
FAQ
Something unclear? You’ll find answers to some of the most common questions here. And if you’d rather talk it through, we’re always here to help.
CONTACT USWhat does API-first mean in practice?
It means the platform's own features are built on the same public APIs available to you, rather than on private internal interfaces with a limited API layer added afterwards. The practical consequence is that anything VISIT's own products can do is reachable programmatically – so an integration is not restricted to whatever a vendor decided to expose. That is the difference between an API-first platform and a platform with an API.
Which VISIT API should I use?
It depends what you are building. Use the Reservation API to build a custom booking engine, the Distribution API to push inventory to OTAs, the Integration Partner API to connect a property management system to Hospitality Commerce, the VISIT Payments API to unify payments, and the Galaxy API to search and book travel products across the ecosystem. Full documentation and a test environment are available for each.
Do we need a developer to integrate with VISIT?
For a custom integration, yes – the APIs need development work, done by your own team or by a certified partner. For most needs you do not, because ready-made connections already exist in the Partner Marketplace and cover the systems most properties run. Check the Marketplace first: buying a certified integration is almost always cheaper than building and then maintaining one.
How do we get API access, and is there a sandbox?
API access requires an agreement and an API key, and there is a test environment alongside the technical documentation so an integration can be built and validated before it touches live data. Ask about rate limits and API versioning policy at the same time – both determine whether an integration keeps working a year later, and neither is usually mentioned until something breaks.
