# Emerging Travel

Learn how to connect and map Emerging Travel, including how to request a connection via support.

## 1) Request the Connection

Email Emerging Travel support and ask to connect your property to the channel manager “Channex.” Include your property name and contact details.

## 2) Finalize in Hostel Mate

1. Open Channel Manager in Hostel Mate
2. Select Emerging Travel and authenticate if required
3. Map rooms and rates

## Verify and Test

* Push a small rate change and confirm it appears in Emerging 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.
