RateVIEW is the preferred reporting service by hoteliers who use up-to-the-minute, rather than cached, rate information for their revenue management and pricing decisions.  RateVIEW enables the best possible revenue management decisions  and keeps hotels up to date on property and competitive activity.

It is the only report that allows hotels to separately identify retail from merchant  (wholesale) rates on various travel Web sites. The report is accessible on-demand through TravelCLICK's client extranet, the Electronic Marketing Centre (EMC), a secure, personalized, password-protected  site.

"RateVIEW offers hotels real-time information that is always just minutes  old," said Richard W. Gray, chairman and co-CEO of TravelCLICK.  "This capability is fundamental to maximizing net revenue from both the Internet and the GDS electronic channels in today's competitive marketplace. We are pleased that an independent hotel management company with the accomplishments of Interstate has adopted RateVIEW as part of its key revenue management strategy."

"To achieve top performance and brand consistency, our hotels need real-time information. RateVIEW is superior in its  accuracy, timeliness and presentation of data.  It was a natural decision for all of our properties to adopt the report," said Pam Streeter, vice president of electronic distribution/marketing, Interstate Hotels & Resorts.

This year, RateVIEW will be upgraded to include scheduled reporting, along with a feature that allows users to identify "fences" associated with the rate (i.e., advance purchase restrictions, cancellation/change penalties, pre-payment).
