InnLink Launches New Brand and Suite of Destination
Booking Solutions - VisitUs™

February 28, 2012 - Today InnLink, LLC., a 20 year Hospitality Central Reservation System (CRS) veteran, launched VisitUs - an innovative suite of hospitality booking solutions enhancing the visibility and reservation capability for Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) and Convention and Visitors Bureaus (CVBs).

VisitUs enables DMOs and CVBs to establish and enhance end-to-end relationships with visitors, suppliers and hotels in their destination by providing powerful solutions to cost effectively package, distribute and sell activities in their area. The VisitUs suite of solutions supports accommodations, transportation, events and attractions bookings by visitors providing a consolidated reservation and confirmation system. The complete booking capability enhances the visitors experience, customer service, and increased destination loyalty while providing the tools to take DMOs and CVBs to the next level in destination marketing. It transforms organizations from just being a source for local information to providing visitors a full destination booking experience through a single web-based portal within their website.

DMOs and CVBs can capture and track revenue for the local economy, develop new revenue streams and increase services, with new awareness, for their members and constituents. Customer information is retained by the DMO or CVB for pre- and post- visit marketing programs.

For hotels, the booking capability is a more cost-effective approach to the expensive OTA providers that traditionally power the portal space, so the win-win solution keeps the visitor interested and willing to buy. For Vendors and Suppliers, DMO/CVB’s can offer OTA-like self-service capabilities.

InnLink CEO, Kris Intress states, “VisitUs, as a new InnLink brand, is able to provide a unique comprehensive solution to benefit destination organizations and their local partners, be they hotels or local activities and increase their visibility. We’re pleased to deliver this powerful destination focused booking suite and partnership.”
