Extranet
- The extranet is an OTA's back-office website for hosts and hoteliers — where you manage rates, availability and content; Booking.com's admin portal is the best-known example.

Why hosts mention it
Every OTA has one, each with different menus and rules. Multi-channel hosts juggle several extranets daily — one reason multi-channel admin roughly scales with the number of sites.
The alternative
Channel managers and managed services exist largely so you never open an extranet: one change propagates to all of them.
