| Frankfurt
and Singapore –February, 2012 –As Soluxe Hospitality Group, with
more
than 60 hotels in the Asia/Pacific region, focuses on building its
presence in
the international market, Soluxe has turned to Trust International’s
(Trust)
centralized reservation system (CRS) for hotel distribution that is
reliable,
responsive and fast, with immediate availability of new rates in all
distribution
channels worldwide. The addition of
Soluxe Hospitality Group as Trust’s first new customer in 2012 further
cements
Trust’s CRS leadership in Asia, where it currently provides
distribution for more
than 1,800 properties and operates one of its international call
centers. Soluxe’s hotels and resorts in Asia went live a few days ago on the Trust CRS system, utilizing yourVoyager, Trust’s Internet booking engine (IBE) and Internet distribution system (IDS) channels, the new Trust|Guestbooker, and CRO module for Soluxe’s own reservation offices. Additionally, Soluxe will be using Trust’s interfaces with third party service providers and national and international online travel agencies, Travelsky, Derbysoft, Rakuten, etc., enabling Soluxe to become a one-stop shop. “With a solid foundation in China, Soluxe Hospitality Group’s is expanding strategically with hotels and resorts in international gateway cities and key destinations,” said Bernard Chong, Group General Manager, Soluxe Hospitality Group. “It is vital for Soluxe to have a trusted distribution partner like Trust that can provide the technology, support service, flexibility and vision to facilitate our aggressive growth plans for the future.
