The HBSi solution connects hotel suppliers chiefly with tour operators, wholesalers and the world's largest online travel agencies to streamline the flow of transactions. For some customers, HBSi eliminates time-consuming, error-prone processes associated with manually managing multiple extranets that provide distribution channels access to the very latest rates, inventory and, in many cases, last room availability. HBSi's flexible solution provides robust interfaces to legacy and leading-edge systems to suit each customer's needs, increasing revenues and streamlining operations.
"Working with DOTW in such a strategic way represents our commitment to building an important and relevant network for our hotel and distribution partners, as well as to the future growth of HBSi in key markets beyond the United States," said Greg Berman, HBSi Chief Operating Officer.
"DOTW will be the first wholesaler to distribute its directly contracted inventory through the iDemand Gateway to our distribution network, which demonstrates how seamless connectivity through HBSi can drive additional revenue by supporting multiple channel classes and business models," added Berman.
Keith Fernandez, Group Managing Director of Destinations of the World Group, said:
"We are pleased to announce this new partnership that includes perfect synergies and equal opportunities for both companies. HBSi provides Destinations of the World with the opportunity to connect to more hotel suppliers seamlessly and build stronger relationships with hotels in new destinations for us. Through our further discussions and intentions, Destinations of the World will provide HBSi's demand partner network competitive rates and availability in destinations where we have a strong presence."
DOTW and HBSi have also begun discussions for the next phase of this partnership, which includes distributing DOTW contracted wholesale rates and inventory content for hotels and apartments in the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia and Australia to HBSi connected Demand Channels via the iDemand Gateway platform.
