RateGain Travel Technologies Limited has entered a strategic partnership with Citrus Leisure PLC, a leading publicly listed hospitality group in Sri Lanka, to power the end-to-end direct booking journey across its portfolio using the UNO Direct Stack. The collaboration aims to help Citrus Leisure grow direct revenue, improve conversion rates, and reduce dependency on third-party channels by consolidating multiple revenue-generating capabilities into a single growth platform. The initiative marks one of the most extensive direct revenue technology consolidations undertaken by a hospitality group in Sri Lanka.

UNO Direct Stack: A Unified Growth Platform

The UNO Direct Stack integrates guest acquisition, digital marketing, website management, booking conversion, distribution, and pricing intelligence into a single ecosystem. This comprehensive approach is designed to create a more connected digital journey for travelers while reducing the operational complexity associated with fragmented systems and multiple vendors. By adopting the unified platform, Citrus Leisure expects to gain consolidated visibility across demand generation, conversion, pricing, and distribution performance.
