Almere / San Francisco – 15th of April 2026 — NextPax, a leading global channel manager and connectivity provider, today announces a strategic partnership with Kasa, the leading tech-enabled hospitality brand and manager for boutique hotel and apartment-style lodging properties. Through a full integration with the NextPax Supply API, Kasa can now more seamlessly distribute its nationwide portfolio of hotels and apart-hotels to top global Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) including Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, and 100 other channels globally.
In a significant industry development, Kasa also became one of the first brands to leverage NextPax’s newly launched Global Distribution System (GDS) integration, powered by reconline AG, reaching corporate and leisure travelers worldwide via Sabre, Amadeus, and Travelport.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Kasa to the NextPax platform,” said Erik Engel, CEO of NextPax. “Kasa’s commitment to flexible, tech-enabled hospitality aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver seamless, scalable distribution. This partnership enhances and automates Kasa’s existing GDS connections, making distribution management simpler, faster, and more efficient at scale. Through our platform, they now have direct access to tens of thousands of travel agents and corporate buyers globally—something very few brands in the short-term rental and boutique hotel management space can claim.”
Founded to deliver “hospitality for the modern traveler,” Kasa offers fully furnished, design-forward apartments and hotels across major U.S. cities—combining the flexibility of short-term rentals with the professionalism and reliability of a hotel experience. Its proprietary hospitality operating system powers intelligent pricing, automated operations, and data-driven distribution to ensure reliability for guests and efficiency for property partners. The platform is built to simplify growth—making it easier to expand distribution, optimize performance, and scale seamlessly across channels.
Through NextPax’s single integration, Kasa can now manage availability, rates, content, and reservations across all connected platforms from one central system, dramatically reducing operational overhead and the need for fragmented manual updates. And more automation is on the way too as Kasa also looks to utilize NextPax’s Messaging, Review and Promotions API’s.
“Our goal is to be wherever today’s traveler is booking—from Airbnb to the GDS,” said Roman Pedan, Founder and CEO of Kasa. “Partnering with NextPax gives us a powerful, unified pipeline to both traditional and modern distribution channels, enabling us to double down on our commitment to delivering strong outcomes to partners and serve new guest segments across the globe.With this announcement, NextPax cements its position as a category leader offering true full-stack connectivity—from vacation rental and hotel inventory to legacy and emerging distribution systems.
Following the migration to NextPax, Kasa is already seeing measurable operational and commercial improvements across their distribution stack:
