This guide explains the RNR ROOMS model for sourcing Bangladesh accommodation through a buyer API, partner portal, or DMC workflow. ## What source-level distribution means > **Direct Answer:** Source-level hotel distribution connects travel buyers directly to signed Bangladesh hotel contracts with real-time ARI feeds, eliminating intermediary markup layers, stale cached availability, and fragmented reservation ownership. The source question is simple: who holds the hotel relationship and where does the availability originate? RNR's operating definition of a directly contracted property is a property with a signed direct contract and a live availability, rates, and inventory connection. That distinction matters to a buyer because it gives the commercial and technical teams a clear place to investigate a rate, room, restriction, or booking exception. The platform is built around the accommodation relationship rather than a chain of re-sold inventory. For like-for-like bookings, buyers get RNR's best contracted B2B room rate available through the direct source agreement at booking. The comparison must use the same property, room, dates, occupancy, board, cancellation, payment terms, and availability. ## Choose the buyer workflow that fits > **Direct Answer:** Travel buyers connect to RNR ROOMS inventory through four dedicated workflows: a standard REST booking API, custom buyer-side API adapter development, an extranet partner portal, or managed DMC ground coordination. A buyer can start with the standard RNR hotel distribution API, ask the RNR integration team to build to the buyer's API, use a partner portal, or discuss a DMC workflow when accommodation and ground handling belong together. The right lane depends on your distribution model, technical capacity, and need for local operations. The API and platform details are shared through the buyer access process. Public pages describe the capabilities and operating model; reference documentation, authentication details, and sandbox access are reviewed under NDA. - API integration for search, booking, cancellation, and retrieval. - Portal access when a user interface is more practical than an integration. - DMC coordination when accommodation is part of a wider Bangladesh itinerary. ## A practical Bangladesh sourcing checklist > **Direct Answer:** Evaluating a Bangladesh hotel distribution partner requires auditing direct contract authority, live channel-manager connectivity, pre-mapped room and rate schemas, 24/7 local escalation ownership in Dhaka, and written settlement terms. Before comparing supplier breadth, ask how each property is contracted, how room and rate data is mapped, what happens when a booking needs local intervention, and how the hotel is settled. These questions reveal the operating model behind the feed. - Can the supplier explain the contract and live-connectivity status of the inventory? - Are room types, rate plans, occupancy rules, and restrictions mapped before launch? - Does a live booking return a confirmation and a clear exception path? - Which team owns a guest issue at local operating hours and overnight? - Are payment timing, statement fields, and negotiated commercial terms written into the agreement? ## From discovery to live Bangladesh inventory > **Direct Answer:** Accessing Bangladesh hotel inventory on RNR ROOMS begins with qualification and commercial agreement under NDA, followed by schema mapping, sandbox booking certification, and phased production traffic activation across 500+ directly contracted properties. The buyer journey starts with the markets, property types, and connection lane you need. RNR then reviews the request, shares the appropriate access and commercial steps, maps the agreed content, and tests the booking lifecycle before production use. RNR's current owner-verified platform figures are 500+ directly contracted properties and 300+ B2B travel buyers worldwide. Those counts describe RNR's measured operating base, not a promise that every property or room type is available to every buyer. ## Editorial Governance Reviewed on a monthly cadence by the Commercial and operations team. ## Next Steps - [Request Bangladesh buyer access](https://www.rnrrooms.com/buyers#request) - [Bangladesh hotel API for buyers](https://www.rnrrooms.com/buyers) - [Source-level inventory and mapping quality](https://www.rnrrooms.com/resources/source-level-inventory-mapping) - [Bangladesh DMC accommodation workflows](https://www.rnrrooms.com/resources/bangladesh-dmc-accommodation-workflows)
