InnLink Introduces the Vortex of Change


June 21, 2010 - Change is inevitable. InnLink Central Reservation Services uses the Vortex of Change to describe the fast-paced expectations and buying behaviors indicted by travel consumers today. Is your current reservation partner innovative? Do they provide creative and relevant technology to engage your customers?  InnLink CRS has identified solutions for managing the fast-paced and complicated changes experienced in today’s technology booking process. InnLink introduces Tralix, an integrated intelligent based eMarketing platform and TUBE, The Ultimate Booking Engine. These enhancements are integrated within our Windsurfer CRS platform to ensure ease-of-use in reporting, tracking, managing the entire process and ensuring your guest experience is maximized throughout the booking process.

The phenomenal growth experienced by InnLink and our hotels over the past 3 years has recently been validated by our Sabre Hospitality Solutions annual update. Sabre reported during 2009, InnLink outpaced both the industry and their competitive set in bookings, room nights and revenue showing growth of 16% in bookings and room nights and revenue growth of 1%.  Even more impressive was InnLink’s performance as compared to our competitive set which was down 22% to 36% for these three key indicators during 2009. In the first half of 2010, Sabre is up in all three areas, bookings, room nights, and revenue indicating market recovery as has been widely projected. InnLink in 2010 is still outpacing the Sabre marketplace by nearly 18% while our competitive set is down 3-5% in the key indicators of bookings, room nights and revenue.

Visit InnLink Central Reservation Services to see our vision for the Vortex of Change and solutions such as Tralix and The Ultimate Booking Engine live at HITEC Booth # 915. And see how our solutions can help you outperform your competition during the Vortex of Change.
