�When TSR, our former GDS provider, announced that it was discontinuing its services, we looked at the major providers,� said Linda McCombs, vice president of marketing and human resources for Drury Inns Inc.  �We found that REZsolutions could offer us a progressive reservations product that was well suited to our value objectives. As a rapidly growing hotel group, Drury saw this as a distinct advantage compared to other alternatives.�

�Like many hotel companies in the mid-market segment, Drury is becoming increasingly interested in capturing negotiated rate business through GDS outlets,� said Chris Rockett, senior vice president of business development at REZsolutions. �Our service will offer seamless connectivity to more than 80 Drury Inn properties by September.�

�This service option will give our properties 24-hour exposure to more than 450,000 travel agent terminals around the world where agents can use the GDS to book hotel reservations,� continued McCombs.  In addition to the GDS, REZsolutions will represent Drury Inns through Travelweb.com, the largest online travel web site and one of REZsolution�s online partners. This service enables customers to book reservations at any Drury Inn by hyperlinking from http://www.drury-inn.com to the Travelweb site or by going directly to http://www.travelweb.com.

Drury Inns Inc. has been a part of the hospitality industry for over 30 years, and it has continually retooled its product to make it ever contemporary and responsive to guests� needs and wishes.  At the core, however, remain the same homespun virtues that the Drury brothers learned on the family farm and adapted to the road: �You are our guest, you are welcome here, and your satisfaction is guaranteed.�
 

THE DRURY STORY It began in the early 1940s, when Lambert Drury started his plastering business with his four sons. Lambert believed that success was achieved only by delivering the highest quality product possible at an excellent value. His philosophy was passed on to his sons as they worked with him and later continued on their own ventures. By 1973, the Drury family had opened the first Drury Inn in Sikeston, Missouri. Once Drury established its own name in the lodging industry, it never stopped growing. Today, Drury Inns, Inc. continues to be family owned and operated. This is what makes the �Drury Difference� in today�s world of hotel conglomerates and franchises. Unlike big franchise companies with many owners, Drury CAN offer consistency at all hotels.

REZsolutions Inc. is the leading provider of reservations and marketing services as well as technology and branding solutions for the hospitality industry. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and services, global access, and full-service support for independent hotels, management companies, hotel owners and developers in over 180 countries.
