What It Is
TOMAS Travel is a regional booking and channel management platform widely used by tourism associations, municipalities, and regional tourist offices across Switzerland, Germany, and Austria (the DACH region). Rather than contracting directly with hotels, TOMAS operates through a network of tourism organizations, which in turn have agreements with local accommodation providers.
Who It Serves and How to Connect
TOMAS primarily serves accommodation providers — including hotels, holiday apartments, and guesthouses — within Swiss and DACH-region tourism destinations. Because TOMAS contracts through regional tourist offices rather than directly with properties, hotels typically access the platform via their local tourism association or municipality. Once registered through the regional body, properties receive credentials (Hotel TOMAS ID, Client ID, room codes) that allow channel managers and PMS providers to synchronize availability and rates automatically via the TOMAS API.
Notable Specialty
TOMAS is deeply embedded in the Swiss regional tourism infrastructure, making it an important distribution channel for properties in destinations where local tourism offices are the primary booking intermediary. The platform has undergone certification with multiple hotel software providers, enabling direct connectivity for PMS and channel manager systems. For accommodation providers in Swiss alpine resorts, lake districts, and city destinations, being listed through TOMAS ensures visibility to domestic and regional European travelers booking through official tourism office portals and regional booking websites.
