Corporate History
Tourist Bureau Marketing, Inc., DBA Alliance Reservations Network, started developing online travel booking technology in 1995 and has been on the forefront of this technology ever since. It built one of the first hotel booking engine sites in the United States. In 1999, it was one of the first companies to create an affiliate network allowing its partners to use its proprietary white label travel booking engine. By 2002 it had developed ground-breaking travel technology that aggregated inventory from multiple suppliers and displayed it in a search query result page. In 2007 the company launched its first closed user group booking engine.
Founded in 2005, Alliance View, LLC also developed closed user group online travel booking technology. The company developed powerful marketing capabilities and was able to grow overwhelming demand for its products and new technologies. Eventually Alliance View, LLC combined with Alliance Reservations Network.
With the combination of these two successful businesses, Alliance Reservations Network has been able to build on existing products and bring new ones to market faster. Alliance is currently one of the largest travel technology booking engine providers in the world. Their inventory includes over 600,000 hotel and resort properties worldwide, along with air, car rental, cruise, activity and weekly rental inventory. Alliance powers thousands of partner sites and has facilitated over $2 billion in hotel sales since inception.
