Discover rare events and experience them in person
Rare Sights helps people discover rare natural and astronomical events. For some events, a map shows the area where they can be experienced – such as the calculated path of totality for a solar eclipse. In the future, people should be able to find accommodation in that region and book through Booking.com. This requires partner approval and access to the accommodation API.
Why we need accommodation API access
Once approved, we want to retrieve current accommodation, prices and availability for a selected location and travel date. Rare Sights would show each property's position relative to the event area on the map and direct people to Booking.com to complete a booking. The regular event pages do not yet show accommodation offers.

The separate demo illustrates property markers and whether they are inside, outside or near the edge of an example area. The area, all properties, prices and links are invented. It uses no Booking.com data and cannot be used to book.
