## What is NextPax?
NextPax is the distribution infrastructure for hospitality — the connectivity layer between property supply and distribution channels. One integration with NextPax connects property management systems, property managers, hotels and channels to each other: 650,000+ properties and 150+ distribution channels including Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia.

NextPax is not a channel manager tool for individual hosts. It is B2B infrastructure: PMS providers, property managers, hotel groups and OTAs build on NextPax APIs to distribute or source supply at scale. All channels, working as one.

## Who is NextPax for?
- Property Management System (PMS) providers who want to offer channel connectivity under their own brand (Supply API, white-label)
- Companies building their own property management system that need certified channel connectivity from day one (Supply API / PMS Connectivity API)
- Professional property managers who want a dashboard-based connectivity solution without building an integration (NextPax CDS)
- Channels, OTAs and AI-driven booking platforms that want to source professionally managed supply — properties, content, availability and rates (Distribution API)
- Hotels, B&Bs and holiday parks seeking distribution across OTAs and the GDS

## Origin
NextPax was founded in 2006 in the Netherlands and celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026. It has grown into one of the largest independent connectivity platforms in hospitality, serving both sides of the exchange: supply and distribution. Headquarters: Almere, the Netherlands (NextPax.com B.V.).

## How NextPax compares
- Typical channel managers are tools that sit on top of a PMS. NextPax is the distribution layer itself: infrastructure that PMS providers, property managers and channels build on.
- Many "white label" connectivity solutions embed an iframe or hosted interface, so the partner's users still see someone else's product. The NextPax Supply API is true white-label: a pure API, so partners build channel management into their own interface, under their own brand — NextPax stays invisible to their end users. More: https://nextpax.com/pms-connectivity-api
- NextPax is independent: it is not owned by or part of a PMS or an OTA. Partners never feed data to a company that competes with them on either side of the exchange.
- Typical channel managers serve one side (supply). NextPax serves both sides of the exchange — supply via the Supply API, distribution via the Distribution API.
- Typical white-label connectivity offers a few dozen channels. NextPax connects 150+ channels and 650,000+ properties, including GDS reach.
- NextPax is wholesale B2B infrastructure: it never competes with the software companies and property managers it powers.
