Description

SHR Windsurfer CRS offers hotels the opportunity to connect with a vast international travel audience by linking to Global Distribution Systems (GDS) such as Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport, significantly enhancing their visibility to potential guests and driving more bookings. By positioning your hotel in front of travel agents who manage over $10 billion in hotel revenue annually, you can tap into a clientele that typically secures higher-than-average daily rate reservations. This platform provides your property with increased exposure through various channels, including public, negotiated, and Consortia business. Establish yourself as the go-to option for travel agents when they are selecting accommodations for their clients. Leverage a global network that encompasses over 700,000 travel agents, making it the ideal avenue for negotiated and Consortia corporate business. Additionally, enjoy the benefits of distributed public, negotiated, and Consortia rates to maximize your hotel’s revenue potential. With this comprehensive approach, your hotel can significantly enhance its market presence and attract more discerning travelers.

Description

Zurich Systems is a technology provider focused on hotel solutions, particularly in Global Distribution System (GDS) reservations as well as channel management for various types of accommodations, including independent hotels, hotel groups, inns, and resorts. With their GDS service, they link properties to more than 500,000 travel agents globally and a variety of corporate booking platforms, allowing for an extensive market presence. Noteworthy aspects of their service include the ability to activate GDS access within 48 hours, the absence of setup and monthly fees, no minimum payment obligations, and a lack of long-term contracts. The business model they utilize is performance-driven, meaning hotels receive payments only after guests have checked out. Furthermore, Zurich Systems boasts compatibility with over 60 channel managers and property management systems, and provides an easy-to-use web-based control panel for managing rates and availability efficiently. They also offer additional services such as complimentary corporate and net rate agreement setups, consortia/RFP/Lanyon services, and travel agency commission processing settlements at no extra charge, ensuring a comprehensive support system for their clients. This approach not only simplifies hotel management but also enhances revenue opportunities for their customers, making Zurich Systems a pivotal player in the hotel technology landscape.
