| SAN FRANCISCO, Calif - August 23, 2000
- BookingCenter.com a provider of Internet reservation services, is partnering
with WorldRes.com to develop an automated, two-way interface between the
BookingCenter.com Property Management System (PMS) and the WorldRes.com
network.
BookingCenter PMS users will have a seamless connection to the WorldRes.com
system. This will make it easier to input their hotel�s descriptive information
and automate the process of maintaining current rates and availability,
while accepting real-time confirmed reservations from WorldRes.com�s extensive
network of distribution partners, including AOL, Lycos, Yahoo!, Sabre/Travelocity
and Galileo.
 BookingCenter.com
already enables properties to be booked online through their own web sites.
With a single mouse click, BookingCenter.com customers can synchronizes
local reservations with web reservations received through WorldRes.com,
saving the hotelier from manually entering that data.
| �Through WorldRes.com, our client
hotels can easily sell rooms at the most popular travel portals and get
exposure to travel agents,� said Jeff Tweddale, President of BookingCenter.com.
�BookingCenter PMS�s one click data synchronization is much easier then
updating through a web browser. And it significantly reduces the effort
and potential errors in selling on many web sites.�
BookingCenter.com is committed to providing, simple, cost-efficient,
reservation products for the hospitality industry, including hotels, resorts,
condominium rentals, and timeshares.
BookingCenter.com LLC was formed in 1999. BookingCenter Property Management
Software was initially developed in 1989 and refined with user input to
simplify the travel reservation process, provide online booking capabilities,
and reduce marketing costs. |
