Trust International Adds Wego and Make My Trip as
Partners
to Expand Internet Distribution for the Asian & Indian Markets
Frankfurt, Germany – April 20, 2009 – Trust International has added Wego (www.wego.com) and Make My Trip (www.MakeMyTrip.com) as Trust|Connect Internet Distribution Services (IDS) partners for Asia, India, and the other markets they serve, underlining Trust International’s commitment to connecting hotels to markets and simplifying the reservation process for all parties. Wego searches across 100+ travel web sites in the time that it normally takes to search just one. This partnership will enable hotel groups such as Taj Hotels Resorts & Palaces and other Trust partner hotels to promote its hotels and resorts to online visitors using Wego.com. Consumers will see the latest pricing and room availabilities for member properties. Craig Hewett, Wego Founder & Chief Commercial Officer, said, “We are delighted to be working with Trust. This year is set to be a year of great growth for Wego, in terms of new product features and increasing user traffic, all of which are sure to benefit partners like Trust International.” “Wego and Make My Trip are both important channels that allow us to provide our hotel clients with enhanced distribution options, particularly to the Asia Pacific and Indian markets. We recognize the importance of partnerships with search engines and online travel agencies (OTAs) as cost-effective channels to increase online distribution, and there is no doubt that both partners will assist in significantly increasing our hotels´online market share,” said Richard Wiegmann, COO & Managing Director Trust International. “This further expands our direct connect strategy of connecting important Internet distribution channels directly to our Voyager|CRS platform and, in so doing, complement our unique pairing of leading-edge technology with exceptional service and support.” Trust|IDS, the network of OTA and IDS connected to Trust’s Voyager|CRS, seamlessly provides direct connectivity to reach online distributors and ultimately the booking hotel guest. Direct connects include such sites as Expedia, Booking.com, hotel.de, and Kiwi Collection. Along with the growth of Internet bookings, the number of Trust’s direct connects is growing daily
