�With gha.net, we are able to offer a single image product distribution via all booking channels including voice, GDS, and the Internet,� stated Christopher Hartley, Chief Executive of Global Hotel Alliance. �The GHA team worked closely with MICROS to address the special needs and requirements of the world�s largest hotel alliance, and we are on track to switch three of the four remaining GHA members to our new distribution technology throughout the remainder of 2007.�

�We were very pleased with the smooth cutover of gha.net, and especially delighted to see the immediate and positive impact this has had for each of the brands,� added Hartley. �Combined with the MICROS property management systems at the hotel level, gha.net has enhanced productivity and customer service with measurable results in inventory and rate integrity across all distribution channels in a real-time environment combined with reduced operating expenses. To enhance our solution, we offer a complete travel portal via globalhotelalliance.com, which includes flight reservations and secured travel agent and corporate booking environments. With these enhanced capabilities, we can achieve our goal to provide our gha.net partners in the travel agent and wholesale industries better access to our exciting product offerings.�

Since the switch in February, all three brands have seen their combined voice, GDS and internet revenues increase. Pan Pacific has witnessed a staggering 50% increase, with Kempinski growing 39% and Leela 26%. "We were very impressed with our recent switch to gha.net which was accomplished well within the agreed objectives,� said Kevin Croley, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Pan Pacific. �The help and support that we received from MICROS was excellent and since the switch we have seen an improvement in our productivity. The product support and technical assistance continues to impress all our hotels.�

This sentiment is echoed by Juerg Siegenthaler, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kempinski. �The decision to switch to our centralized system has enabled us to take more control of our own destiny for global distribution.  Our ability to get rates, availability, and content to market has been greatly enhanced with the integrated platforms provided by MICROS-Fidelio. The consolidated customer database and central lookup functionality mean we can now see more precisely our customer usage and spending patterns and ensure improved service for our customers staying at Kempinski Hotels.�

�It is very rewarding for MICROS to see a groundbreaking concept such as GHA come alive,� stated Tom Giannopoulos, Chairman and CEO of MICROS Systems, Inc. �The go-live of gha.net is a milestone for all of the participating GHA hotel members and we expect further gains in the future of the gha.net as we introduce new innovations, such as interactive customer relationship management and customer recognition on an alliance-wide basis.�
