Trust
International Chosen as Worldwide
CRS Provider
for Iberostar Hotels and Resorts
Frankfurt,
Germany and Palma, Spain – October
31, 2011 – Iberostar Hotels and
Resorts, one of the world’s top hotel chains, selected Trust
International
(Trust) as its centralized reservation system (CRS) provider using
Trust’s
yourVoyager CRS for international distribution and commission
payment. Iberostar did not previously work with the GDS channels, which meant Iberostar vacation properties in Europe were booked primarily through tour operators and wholesalers. With the selection of Trust‘s yourVoyager CRS, Iberostar significantly broadens their distribution reach worldwide in the European market. “Our partnership with Iberostar marks an important step as we continue to expand our international focus,” explains Richard Wiegmann, Managing Director, Trust International. “We have diligently worked to understand and cater to regional and international hoteliers, and are proud that we have become the preferred distribution partner for one of the largest, high-profile hotel chains in the world.” “Selecting Trust as our CRS partner will help Iberostar expand as we continue to open new destinations such as Budapest,” said Sarah Despradel, Iberostar’s Director of Online Sales for EMEA. “We selected Trust as our GDS distributor because they best understand and meet our needs, helping us capture key distribution and revenue opportunities we were previously missing. We are happy to have the first properties already online only a few weeks after our decision was made.” Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, known as one of the top hotel chains for vacation properties, has a significant presence in the main tourist destinations in Spain, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean offering more than 100 4- and 5-star hotels and resorts.
