Booking.com building connected travel with Google Nest
PhocusWire | December 20, 2019
Booking com has signed a one-year partnership with Google Nest to help build a more "connected trip experience" for travelers and property hosts. While the partnership has a promotional element to it, kicking off with free Nest devices for U.S. travelers spending more than $150, it also aims to provide partners with access to products and services that could improve the experience in properties. Booking com and Google Nest say guests and hosts are looking for more safety and security features when staying in private accommodation with smart technology potentially filling gaps.
