This partnership will enable Booker’s Health, Wellness, and Beauty merchants to be both discovered and bookable directly within MapQuest’s reimagined local discovery platform and map.

“For the myriad of consumers using MapQuest for travel planning, the ability to book spa appointments is a relevant enhancement to the overall travel experience, especially for those using MapQuest to find and book hotels.”

“Booker strives to provide its merchants with the best tools to attract and book customers at every point of discovery,” said Josh McCarter, CEO at Booker. “We are excited to team up with MapQuest as they continue to be a leading local discovery and travel planning tool.”
