In today’s travel landscape, staying connected is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. From mobile boarding passes and hotel check-ins to ridesharing and video calls, travelers expect to be online everywhere, instantly. That’s why the rise of eSIM technology is reshaping the way we move across borders, eliminating the headaches of physical SIM cards and unpredictable roaming costs.

It’s against this backdrop that Orange Travel, Orange’s dedicated eSIM service for international travelers, has partnered with ALL Accor, the loyalty program of global hospitality giant Accor. Together, they’re creating a travel experience that blends connectivity, security, and loyalty rewards into one package. Since July 2025, the collaboration has been gradually rolled out to ALL Accor’s 100+ million members, giving them access to exclusive eSIM offers designed to work wherever they go—without being tied to their home mobile provider.

What Members Get

ALL Accor members can now enjoy:

• Exclusive offers through a multilingual catalog (eight languages at launch).
• Triple loyalty perks, with 3 Reward points earned per euro spent on Orange Travel eSIMs. From late 2025, points can also be redeemed directly for eSIM purchases.
• Global coverage in more than 150 destinations, backed by Orange Group’s 800 roaming agreements.
• Reliable service and support, including 24/7 customer assistance.

One-Click Access to Connectivity

The new platform is designed for simplicity: members can browse eSIM plans across 150+ countries, pay in local currencies, and instantly download an eSIM to activate upon arrival. It’s pitched as a stress-free, budget-friendly way to stay online abroad—no queues, no paper SIMs, no roaming bill shocks.

Frédéric Bléhaut, CEO of Orange Travel, states:

“This partnership is fully aligned with our strategy to develop B2C offers and collaborate with strong partners wishing to provide international connectivity solutions to their clients. We are proud to partner with Accor, a global leader in hospitality, to offer travelers simple and reliable connectivity through Orange Travel eSIM. This strategic alliance brings together two major groups with a shared goal: providing travelers with the best customer experience.”

Mehdi HEMICI, General Manager of Loyalty and E-Commerce at Accor, adds:

“With ALL Accor, our goal is to continuously enrich the experience of our over 100 million members, going far beyond hotel stays and making every trip simpler and more rewarding. This partnership with Orange Travel illustrates our commitment to combining hospitality excellence with innovative services that accompany our members worldwide.”

The Bigger Picture: A Hospitality-Connectivity Play

For Orange, this is more than a new customer channel—it’s a step toward consolidating its role as a gIobal eSIM leader. By plugging into Accor’s loyalty ecosystem, Orange Travel gains direct exposure to a high-value, travel-ready audience.

For Accor, meanwhile, the move expands its loyalty program beyond hotels and flights. Loyalty is no longer just about free nights; it’s about becoming a full-service lifestyle companion, from check-in to check-out—and now, staying online in between.

Why This Matters in the Global eSIM Race

This partnership isn’t happening in a vacuum. Competitors are already betting on similar strategies:

• T-Mobile US has bundled international data passes into its premium plans.
• Airalo and Holafly, two of the fastest-growing independent eSIM marketplaces, are striking airline and OTA partnerships to secure traveler mindshare.
• Vodafone recently launched its Champions Travel eSIM, targeting sports fans with exclusive perks.

Where Orange Travel stands out is its scale and integration. Backed by 800 roaming deals and a legacy telecom infrastructure, it offers the reliability that pure-play eSIM startups sometimes lack. Pair that with Accor’s global loyalty base, and the partnership has the potential to shift expectations on what a hotel membership can deliver.

According to Juniper Research, the number of active eSIM connections will hit 1.5 billion by 2027, driven largely by travel and IoT. Hospitality brands that move early into this space, like Accor, are better positioned to capture both loyalty and spending in a market where connectivity is now as essential as a hotel breakfast.
