The Travolution Awards, considered one of the industry's highest accolade for online innovation and excellence in the UK, aims at recognising companies, brands and individuals who excel in the fields of online travel distribution, digital marketing and technology.
RateTiger has been recognised for its success in creating the largest online channel network, offering hoteliers' access to more than 750 OTAs globally. The full service channel manager constantly develops technology to help hotels to take advantage of new opportunities to optimise marketing and sales online including utilising social media platforms like Facebook. It recently became the first channel manager to distribute hotel inventory and rates to eBay, the largest international ecommerce platform representing 14% of global e-commerce.
"We encourage innovation and integration of technologies to support the evolution of online sales and channel management. Hoteliers are fond of our solutions because we provide them meaningful single-point access to all required channels, and continue to add new platforms" said Michael McCartan, COO RateTiger. "GDS, via CRS, booking engines, tour operators, OTAs to social media, online advertising and auctioning platforms has been very successful. Now with this prestigious award nomination, we know we are on right track and will continue to create value for our customers."
These connections help hoteliers to broaden the reach of newer market segments, further maximises online revenues while minimising the workload involved in researching and managing new media.
In a recent interview, Jon Siberry, Group Revenue Manager of Sarova Hotels said: "The RTSuite RTChannelmanager Professional product is much better than others on the market and I've seen it change significantly over the years. A channel manager should offer good control and flexibility to manage all products including supplements, packages and upgrades. RateTiger makes it easier to control, especially for rate management; pre-formatted settings means we can set a base level price for each room type and the technology calculates all rates across the different channels. It's very simple."
Further, with the addition of the shopping tools, strategy engine, booking retrieval, online guest reviews and content management tools (RTReview), RateTiger has evolved into a fully functional distribution management solution provider, allowing 360 degree monitoring of booking cycles.
RateTiger helps hotels, technology companies and travel sales channels to more efficiently interact do business with one another. Its multi-platform availability including installable, web-based and mobile versions have made it a product of choice for over 5,000 customers worldwide.
