RateGain Travel Technologies announced on June 18, 2026, that it has signed Cinko as a new demand partner through its Enterprise Connectivity platform to help hotels capture last-minute booking demand. Cinko, a last-minute hotel booking app developed by Remwes, LLC, will connect with RateGain's global hotel supply ecosystem. This engagement expands Cinko's access to hotel inventory and supports the growth of its same-day booking proposition, allowing hotel partners to monetize time-sensitive inventory more effectively.

How the Partnership Works

Cinko's product TONIGHT connects travelers seeking same-day hotel stays with properties that have last-minute inventory available. The addition of Cinko provides RateGain's hotel partners with another channel to reach high-intent travelers closer to the time of stay. RateGain's Enterprise Connectivity platform powers real-time connectivity between hotel suppliers and travel demand partners, enabling the exchange of availability, rate, and inventory (ARI) and reservation data through scalable and reliable integrations.

Partner Profiles

The following table outlines the key details of both partners involved in this engagement:

Stakeholder Perspectives

Serge Couturiaux, Director of Cinko, stated that partnering with RateGain expands access to hotel inventory, bringing travelers more compelling last-minute options while helping hotels fill unsold rooms. He noted that TONIGHT is built on alignment where the closer the check-in, the better the deal for the traveler and the leaner the cost for the property. The Rate Tracker makes this value visible by allowing travelers to watch the discount.

Sanchit Garg, GM, OTA & Mobility and Executive Vice President at RateGain, emphasized that as traveler behavior shifts toward immediacy, it is critical for hotels to access demand at the right moment. He added that welcoming Cinko as a demand partner expands RateGain's global distribution ecosystem and helps clients monetize time-sensitive inventory more effectively. RateGain continues to strengthen its Enterprise Connectivity ecosystem to connect hotel supply with relevant sources of demand, helping travel and hospitality businesses improve distribution efficiency, expand market reach, capture incremental demand, and generate measurable revenue opportunities.

RateGain Travel Technologies has formed a strategic partnership with Duetto to power autonomous, real-time revenue optimization for hotels worldwide.
