Travelsurf & RateTiger Connectivity Makes Life Easy for Hotels


Hyderabad, India - 25 May 2012

Travelsurf.com, specialists in distribution of hotel surplus inventories via its patent pending opaque distribution model, and RateTiger, the premium rate shopping and channel management solutions provider have successfully completed a two-way XML integration for seamless online booking connectivity.

TRAVELSURF's new technology addresses the growing challenge facing the lodging industry worldwide - three common issues confronting every hotelier - selling excess/distressed inventories online, generating high yields, while maintaining rate parity across channels.

Hoteliers can now update Travelsurf distribution network through RateTiger's XML interface transferring data to Travelsurf in real-time. This development will enhance the performance and communication between the two systems and provide hotels with the ability to update the Travelsurf distribution network instantaneously with the opaque rates and surplus inventory availability. Reservations generated by the Travelsurf network can optionally be forwarded to third party systems like the hotels property management system or CRS of hotel chains. This integration provides for ultimate flexibility and time savings.

"Hotels need to keep their rates updated and manage inventory more frequently than ever with the fast-buying pace of the internet," said Michael McCartan, CEO, RateTiger. "XML connectivity from a central application for managing channels is delivering real-time updates for all sales channels enhancing market exposure for the hotel that in turn is increasing bookings. The quicker a hotel can respond to business changes the more revenue opportunities there are".

"Publishing discounted rates online merely contributes to lower average rates and lost revenues. Travelsurf is the new, exciting, game changer technology that enables hotels sell-off those empty rooms yet maintain high yields on all channels" commented Jim Burney, CEO Travelsurf Pvt Ltd. "Direct connectivity with the hotel's real-time inventories via RateTiger's channel manager substantially reduces the work load at the hotel's end".

"We have a number of hotel clients using RateTiger who will benefit from this interface" Soham Aimen, Senior Manager, Travelsurf Pvt Ltd. pointed out.
