Red Sea Portal is a holiday planning and booking site for Egypt's Red Sea coast, covering Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, El Gouna, Dahab and Marsa Alam, where travelers compare stays, browse experiences and build trips. For operators, it brings resort holidaymakers planning a Red Sea stay who add excursions and diving to their trip, while hotels and activity providers manage rates and availability through its partner portal.

Requesting a Red Sea Portal Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Red Sea Portal can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Red Sea Portal could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Red Sea Portal would be created in Ventrata instantly, with Ventrata tickets issued to the customer.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you work with Red Sea Portal, send one email to your Red Sea Portal contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Red Sea Portal.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Red Sea Portal, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Red Sea Portal builds and certifies the connection. Red Sea Portal builds against the OCTO API and passes OCTO certification, then Ventrata certifies it with test bookings. Most resellers finish development in 2 to 10 business days.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, Red Sea Portal appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Red Sea Portal works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Red Sea Portal after your introduction.
📗 TIP

Working with Red Sea Portal in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Red Sea Portal in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Red Sea Portal book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Red Sea Portal bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Red Sea Portal sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
