# Dida Travel

Learn how to connect and map Dida Travel, step by step, from requesting a connection to receiving your Hotel ID.

## Prerequisites

* Dida Travel extranet access
* Hotel ID (provided after approval)

## 1) Request the Connection

1. Log in to the Dida Travel extranet
2. Use the support messaging to request “Channex” as your channel manager
3. Wait for confirmation and your Hotel ID

## 2) Finalize in Hostel Mate

1. Open Channel Manager in Hostel Mate
2. Choose Dida Travel and enter your Hotel ID
3. Map rooms and rate plans

## Verify and Test

* Push a small rate change and confirm it appears in Dida Travel

## Last step: pull your existing bookings

The connection only delivers *new* bookings. The reservations already on the platform need to come across too, otherwise your other channels keep selling beds that are taken. See [Pull Future Reservations](/channel-mapping-guides/pull-future-reservations.md) — it's one click and it's the step people skip.
