Boost your tourism business with Veetal’s Connect API: direct access to key data
In a sector as dynamic as travel, data doesn’t just matter—it’s everything. Being able to anticipate demand, adjust prices in real time, understand traveller behaviour or spot emerging trends is no longer optional; it’s a necessity. But how can you do that when data is fragmented, unstructured or simply inaccessible? That’s where Veetal’s Connect API comes in—the centralised data solution that lets tourism-industry businesses tap into updated, structured datasets that integrate easily, without the limits of manual scraping or the technical burden of bespoke developments.
What is the Connect API?
Connect API is Veetal’s data platform, born from the development of its own Revenue Management system. Today it stands alone as a tool for anyone who needs direct access to the data that drives business decisions in travel. Instead of offering a closed piece of software, Connect API allows revenue agencies, developers, hotel chains, BI platforms, booking engines or PMS integrators to pull raw data—ready to feed their own tools. Implementation is faster than alternative solutions, the data model is coherent and scalable, and it offers something many competitors have forgotten: human service. Every Veetal client has a dedicated support agent, ensuring a smooth roll-out and close, personal attention.

Why choose Connect API instead of scraping?
Because data should be an advantage, not a hurdle. Veetal’s Connect API is built to give you direct, structured, reliable access to critical tourism information—without the economic, technical, legal and operational headaches of manual scraping. Integration doesn’t just improve data quality and availability—it dramatically shortens your time-to-market and grants more flexibility in business decisions. Scraping, by contrast, incurs high operating costs: you need a dedicated tech team to extract, clean and structure data, and scalability is limited—once your data needs grow, scraped solutions become inefficient and hard to maintain. If you still have doubts about the fundamental differences, check out our article: “Why is it better to use an API than to do scraping? Tourist data as a competitive advantage.” Meanwhile, here’s a clear comparison:
| Manual Scraping | Veetal Connect API | |
