Rapid API
Rapid Activities API beta. Rapid Activities API is launching in beta for selected partners. It enables them to build fully customised, end-to-end shopping and booking experiences on top of Expedia Group’s globally curated inventory, now enhanced by Tiqets’ deep strength in attractions and museums. General availability is planned for early 2027. 
Beta partner Global Hotel Card CEO Peter Friend said, ‘Historically, we believed travellers would pick a destination first, then search for flights and a hotel and then eventually an activity. We believe today the experience is the priority and that the booking order is changing. Activities aren’t an afterthought anymore. Booking the activity is increasingly becoming the starting point, and then travellers book the flight and hotel around them. We want to bring our clients the best activities out there, so we’re honoured to be a beta partner in the Rapid Activities API launch’.
Expedia TAAP

Helping travellers discover the right experiences that complement a hotel or flight booking is an important part of delivering exceptional service, and this capability makes that process faster and more intuitive for our sales staff. It allows us to spend less time searching, more time focusing on travellers.

“Our focus is on making every stage of the journey as smooth and straightforward as possible, including travel to and from the airport.
