We are delighted to announce that we have established a powerful direct 2-way connection to Hotel.de / Hotel.info – a leading global online hotel reservation service with a wide customer reach. Presently more than 3 million registered customers use their unique system offering over 210,000 hotels worldwide, generating thousands of hotel bookings each day. The impressive fact is that 70% of the bookings on hotel.info are made by corporate customers. This solution will enable the hotel to manage all rates, inventory and availability from its Colibri Property Management System and to receive reservations directly into its Reservation Board.
Direct connection allows us to lower the channel management fees by removing an intermediate tier between the hotel and the booking portal. As a side benefit it makes the reservation gathering, availability and price update a bit faster, more stable and secure because bites of the information should not go through an extra step in the Hotel <-> Channel chain.
