  • 20 international destinations
  • 53% arrive before 9 AM
  • 54% depart after 3 PM

MMT's 11,000+ property rollout sets a defensible omni-channel standard in hotel ancillaries — rival OTAs and chain direct-booking platforms now face pressure to license, partner, or acquire similar guaranteed-slot inventory capabilities.
