Reservation Sources – The Internet travel websites
The explosive growth of the internet has accounted for more online
reservations being booked in 2006 than any other reservation source.
40% of your hotel’s bookings should
come from the internet alone.
Reservation Sources – The Global Distribution System (GDS)
Many travelers prefer to make reservations at a travel agency. They like the personal attention and
security a travel agent provides them. Travel agents search for hotels using a secure computer terminal
- one of the 4 GDS channels- Amadeus – Galileo – Sabre – Worldspan. Each GDS channel displays
your hotels current rates and availability. Once a room and rate is selected, the system “switches" the
computer message instantly into a unique format and queries your central reservation system
database. Once the reservation is confirmed, the information is available immediately to the travel
agent. When you use the GDS, you are accessible to travel agents around the world.
Reservation Sources – The Internet Distribution Sites (IDS)
Many travelers prefer to make reservations via the internet travel sites. They like the ease and speed
that the internet provides them. Travel portals and internet sites search for hotels using a secure
“intra-net” switch “The UltraSwitch” developed by Pegasus Solutions. Each travel portal displays your
hotel’s current rates and availability. Once a room and rate is selected, the system “switches" the
computer message instantly into a unique format and queries your central reservation system
database. Once the reservation is confirmed, the information is available immediately to the traveler.
When you use the IDS, you are accessible to thousands travel portals around the world.

What These Sources Add To Your Hotel’s Revenue – The Bottom Line
Optimizing the Reservation Sources – Reaching Your Production Goals
The first and most important step in your hotel’s ability to generate
reservations is the GDS/IDS listing process.
Travel agents and potential guests alike search the GDS and internet for the
hotels listing that catches their eye. This process can be compared to an
online advertisement or a commercial for your hotel.
Major and minor companies readily employ add agencies to write their
advertisements full well knowing that they are the key to success. Our team
of experts are trained by industry professionals to write captivating copy
and enhance photos to catch the travelers eye.
In addition, we also insure that your critical rate plans and room codes
match GDS criteria for maximum booking potential. 100% book ability is our
goal for every hotel we place online – in fact we guarantee it.
