Italy-based tours
and activities booking platform Musement is expanding its supply through a
partnership with Iceland-based Bókun.
Bókun offers a
cloud-based marketplace where companies selling tours, activities, car rentals,
accommodations and transportation can sell their products and can contract with
one another to cross-sell their inventory.
Musement is an
online travel agency that offers tickets for activities and attractions in more
than 1,000 destinations and 70 countries. Its platform is accessible on desktop
and mobile in eight languages.
The agreement will
allow Musement to contract with the more than 1,000 suppliers in the Bókun Marketplace
to add their products and services to the Musement system.

“This new
partnership with one of the best-performing and fast-growing platforms in the tours
and activities sector is allowing us to grow our territorial supply coverage
and reinforce our ability to better serve our customer base, with real-time
availabilities and smoother user experience,” says Claudio Bellinzona, co-founder and COO of
Musement.
Since Bókun
launched in 2012, CEO Hjalti Baldursson says suppliers in its marketplace
have made more than 14,000 cross-selling contracts with one another, and they
look forward to increasing that number through the partnership with Musement.
“It’s imperative for both suppliers and sellers of tours and
activities to streamline the booking process, as a great part of all bookings
happens shortly before departure of a tour,” Baldursson says.
“We have been watching Musement grow fast in the last couple
of years and are inspired by their enthusiasm. We are excited to see the
booking volumes of our customers grow through the strong volumes of Musement.”
