Yes, in most setups you can load your own directly contracted hotels and your own tour packages into the same system that serves the live API inventory, so your staff and your customers work in one place instead of switching between a booking screen and a spreadsheet.

In practice this means you create the property or the package yourself, add the descriptions and photos, and enter the rates, the seasons, the allocation you have been given and the cancellation terms you agreed with the supplier. Because nobody is checking those rates against a live feed, you are the one responsible for keeping them current. If a hotel changes a rate or your allocation runs out, the system will keep selling at what you last entered until you update it, so somebody in your team needs to own that job.

There are honest limits worth knowing. A booking on your own contracted inventory cannot be confirmed instantly by a supplier the way an API booking can, so that confirmation is normally handled by you or your operations staff and then recorded against the booking. Whether your own inventory appears side by side with API results in the same search, or sits in its own section, depends on how your portal is configured and on which modules your plan includes.

Before you start loading contracts, ask us to confirm which inventory options are active on your plan and how you would like your own properties to appear next to the live results, so the setup matches the way you actually sell.
