Trust International Launches Direct Interface with TL-Lincoln in Japan
Frankfurt
and Tokyo - May 23, 2011 – Solare Hotels and Resorts
(Solare)
and travel technology partner, Trust International
(Trust)
have implemented a direct interface with TL-Lincoln, a Japanese hotel
booking
switch by Seanuts Co., Ltd.
Trust is the first centralized reservation
service (CRS) to offer a direct connect with TL-Lincoln, providing
direct
access and connectivity between hotel groups and major Japanese travel
portals,
including several of Japan’s largest online travel agencies (OTA), such
as
Rakuten, Jalan and Ikyu. “Solare has joined a new generation as far as inventory and price distribution systems are concerned, and has significantly changed the direction taken in our online channels by bringing in this single, integrated system,” said Jack Tan, CIO for Solare, “This integration allows us to bring all our hotels into a single strategy, update prices and availability on a real-time basis for inventory and rate parity across all our domestic and international distribution channels, ease the manual pressure on hotels and take full advantage of the efficiency of the services we are offering our guests. I’m proud to say that we are currently the first and only hotel chain in Japan that has this unique integration.” “We, at Seanuts, are thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking project,” commented Kim Jun Hong, CEO of Seanuts. “This TL-Lincoln/Trust CRS solution brings a significant positive change to Solare hotels in how they manage the various distribution channels easily and effectively. Seanut’s partnership with an international company such as Trust International further solidifies our commitment to the suite of products we deliver to the hospitality industry in Japan.” Providing a direct interface simplifies the reservation process on third party portals, which allows hoteliers to easily manage rates, availability and hotel details through a single point of entry – specifically, Trust International’s CRS yourVoyager. “Trust International continues to expand in the Asia Pacific market, building on the industry’s first truly comprehensive Japanese CRS with hotelier Solare, and now adding direct interfaces with important portals like TL Lincoln,” said Mr. Richard Wiegmann, Managing Director, Trust International. “This again delivers on our promise to develop direct interfaces between hotel groups and prominent travel portals throughout the world. As we connect hoteliers with more international sales channels, it gives them the competitive advantage they need in this market.” In August 2010, Solare Hotels & Resorts became a Trust customer, and was the first customer of Trust International’s newly launched Japanese version of yourVoyager CRS, including domestic internet booking engine distribution that fully integrates with Solare’s property management systems (PMS).
