Be where your customers book and buyThe hospitality industry is booming. Occupation rates are up and profitability is rising in every market around the globe.
At the same time, competition is intensifying. Unprecedented profits have spurred a hotel
building boom, bringing thousands of new rooms onto the market. With the biggest ever
increase in the global hotels inventory, hotels – whether individual properties or multinational
groups - will find it harder to increase occupancy and optimise pricing and yield.
The shape of the hotel industry is changing too as more customers turn to the Web to find
accommodation. Shopping online, today’s discerning customers can easily compare
prices to find the best deal. More of them are making last minute bookings, creating new
opportunities to sell rooms. These customers are increasingly brand conscious, searching
for names they know and trust - whether they are looking for low cost lodgings or a luxury
boutique hotel.
This is a great time to be in the hotel business. But to truly benefit, and protect margins in
the future, hotels need their inventory to be available when and where lookers and bookers
can find it. Globally. Online and offline. In both corporate and leisure markets.
Manageable multi channel distribution - worldwideAmadeus makes it easy for hoteliers to
distribute their rooms across multiple
channels on a global scale. The more
channels you use, the easier it is for
customers to find and book your hotel.
Whether you operate a single property or a
chain, Amadeus distribution and content
tools connect your customers with your
inventory:
> when they visit one of over 200,000
travel agency sites using Amadeus,
Sabre, Galileo, Worldspan
> when they make a reservation direct
on your own-branded website
> when they use a travel portal such as
opodo.com, Orbitz or Travelocity
