Dtravel’s Direct Bookings Revolutionised Through Know Your Guest Integration

Know Your Guest (KYG) is excited to announce that we are revolutionising safer stays with our latest integration with Dtravel, a blockchain-based direct booking infrastructure company.

Property managers are seeking greater control over their businesses by embracing the benefits direct booking solutions have to offer. However, their growing concern is that without an OTA, there is no security blanket when it comes to guest damage. 

That’s why, finding property managers the right solutions that will allow them to build independence, scale their businesses and accept direct bookings with the peace of mind that if something did happen, their bookings and properties will be protected from guest-related damages, has been of utmost importance to the Dtravel team. 

Dtravel has partnered with Know Your Guest, the industry-leading risk management platform by Superhog, to eliminate these concerns and install booking confidence and peace of mind to all Dtravel users. 

The new addition of Know Your Guest will revolutionise the Dtravel direct booking, blockchain platform with intelligent guest screening for all Dtravel property managers to mitigate the chance of hosting risky guests and fraudulent or party bookings.

KYG will also seamlessly provide their industry-unmatched $5,000,000 Damage Protection Plan for all Dtravel customers, should they choose to use it.
