Expose Yourself
Travel Tripper advocates that all hotels focus the majority of their distribution attention on their own proprietary hotel web site. That said, hotels should also expose themselves to new customers – and the best way to do that is to embrace the myriad of distribution channels available. Travel Tripper offers hotels the ability to connect to a huge network of traditional and online travel distribution providers through the Global Distribution Systems. The GDSs give you reach to 600,000 travel agents and many travel websites around the world.
Powerful Intermediaries
The GDSs provide a robust travel marketplace for buyers and sellers of many types of travel products. These behemoths are an important distribution tool for most hotels, as they can bring you access to both business and leisure travelers around the world. While 57% of all hotel reservations are now made through the Internet, fully 20% are still made through the GDS channel. GDS bookings tend to have higher ADRs than other channels due to the prevalence of less price sensitive business bookers in this channel.
Travel Tripper offers full seamless connectivity to travel agents through each GDS. This means that travel agents shop your rates and rooms in real time, and as soon as rates are updated in our reservation system, the agents can see and book with the revised information.
