Can I run two different branded websites from the same booking system, or do I need a separate portal for each?

Yes, in most cases you can run more than one website from the same booking system, although how many brands you are allowed and how far apart they can look will depend on the plan you are on.

The usual arrangement is one back office, where your bookings, your supplier connections and your markup live, with more than one front end sitting on top of it. Each front end can have its own domain name, its own logo and colours and its own wording, so a customer visiting one of them has no reason to think it is linked to the other. Agencies often do this when they sell to holidaymakers under one name and to corporate clients under another, or when they want a separate site aimed at one city or country.

What normally stays shared is the engine underneath. Your supplier connections, your staff logins and your reporting usually cover all the brands together, which is convenient, but it does mean a change you make to a supplier will affect every site at once. If you need genuinely separate markup rules, separate payment accounts or separate reporting for each brand, ask about that on its own, because it is not always included as standard and sometimes depends on what the supplier will allow.

Before you commit to a second brand, decide whether you want the bookings from both sites sitting together in one place or kept apart, and then check what your plan allows on domains, branding and markup.
