Global Booking Network

No other technology partner gives you such exposure to consumers and travel professionals.

Increased visibility = increased sales

The BookingCenter Global Booking Network gives your property real–time visibility on over 10,0000 travel websites, including the Sabre, WorldSpan, Amadeus, and Galileo/TravelPort GDS systems (used by over 650,000 travel agents worldwide), the Pegasus system (which provides distribution to TravelWeb, Expedia, Hotwire, Orbitz and others), and other consumer networks such as YellowPages.com, Verizon SuperPages, and TourWorld. See a sample list of partner distribution sites.

Control price and allocations

Allocate some rooms to distribution partners and reserve others for your walk-ins, website or partner agents. Strategically price your rooms with real–time yielded rates — higher or lower than the rates at your property or on your website. Learn about BookingCenter's powerful allocation and pricing features for users of the Global Booking Network.

Negotiated Rates

The travel industry is full of corporations and travel agencies who only book at properties that provide direct, negotiated rates. BookingCenter provides these negotiated rates via your website, through our Local Distribution Systems, and via the GDS and Pegasus systems.

Net Rate/Merchant Model Programs

The travel industry has seen the rise of large travel websites such as Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz. While not perfect for all, these systems - especially in competitive markets - are an excellent source of reservations for lodging providers. BookingCenter can manage your Net Rate/Merchant Model inventory and rates seamlessly - right through any of our Management Tools. These programs have delivered up to 35% monthly occupancy to some of our customers, and by using them in tandem with a direct marketing campaign, a property can build long-lasting customer relationships.

Learn more about automating your relationship with the Net Rate/Merchant Model companies.

Packages

Sell Packages containing combinations of Room and Items - both on your website and/or through the GDS systems. Packages are an increasing percentage of all online transactions, and usually provide a higher margin of profit to the lodging, and a better experience to your Guest. Watch how Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz are engaging Packages on their sites, and realize why this is a preferred way to plan - and sell - your 'travel experience'. Ask us how to take advantage of Packages now.

Consortia's Programs

According to HEDNA a consortia is a "rate negotiated between a hotel company and a travel agency group. Viewing of these rates in the GDS by a Travel Agent or other GDS user is restricted and the rate may be booked only after entry of either the Agents or Client authorization code." Originally started for mom and pop travel agencies, Consortias have become a major player in the travel industry. Consortia is a conglomerate of travel agencies that have joined together into an organization, and by doing this, can increase marketing to their customers by offering competitive rates at BookingCenter hotels worldwide. This program is offered for enrollment once per year, and returns excellent results for many of our properties. Learn more here.

Webervations

Webervations is used by many North American lodging associations to display availability, and any user of a BookingCenter product can maintain seamless availability into - and from - the Webervations system. For details, click here.
