About APLBC

Built to close the gap between hotels and agents

Stay Collection is APLBC's platform for connecting the world's finest hotels directly with the travel agents who book them — with transparent incentives, real data, and no middlemen taking a cut.

Our mission

A platform the industry can trust

APLBC Events Ltd was founded in London in 2018 with one goal: make the relationship between luxury hotels and travel agents work better for both sides. Traditional incentive programs were opaque, slow to pay, and hard to measure.

Stay Collection changes that. Hotels publish their own incentive rates, agents see them in real time, and APLBC handles the data and payments. No black box, no disputes, no months-long reconciliation cycles.

We're London-based and globally active — with agents in 18 countries and hotel partners spanning every major destination category.

What we stand for

Our values

Transparency first
Every incentive rate, payout date, and eligibility rule is published openly. Agents know exactly what they earn before they book.
Agent-centric
Stay Collection charges hotels — never agents. Joining is free, features are free, and payouts arrive monthly without chasing.
Quality over volume
We verify every agent on the platform. Hotels know their programs reach real travel professionals, not scrapers or bots.
Long-term relationships
Incentive programs work when agents trust the brand and hotels trust the platform. We're building that foundation deliberately.
