Trust International Signs Deal With Rate Tiger To Connect Hotel Brands
with 400+ Travel Channels Worldwide
.


Frankfurt, Germany/Orlando, Florida � June 22, 2009 � Trust International and RateTiger today announced a new cooperation to expand automated distribution of Trust International partner hotels to several hundred additional Internet Distribution System (IDS) travel sales channels by implementing a seamless connection between Trust International�s centralized reservation system Voyager|CRS and RateTiger´s RTConnect.

Trust will now have the ability to offer hundreds of new travel channels to its partner hotels groups, and the interface with RTConnect will allow hotels to include other contracted channels (small and large) into a hotel�s distribution strategy. 

Trust�s current extensive variety of connected distribution channels provided with its Distribution|Unlimited offering will be even further enriched by adding access to RateTiger´s global network of distribution. The partnership also helps ensure that hoteliers get access to reservation and arrival details from all online sources. They can now quickly process inventory updates across various channels to remain competitive on the Internet, without it affecting day-to-day business operations.

�This partnership with RateTiger enables our customers to process and disseminate inventory updates to additional channels more efficiently and effectively, improving inventory distribution and maximizing their revenue opportunities,� said Richard Wiegmann, COO and Managing Director, Trust International. �This relationship is one more example of how Trust is continually seeking best of breed partners to improve efficiencies and positively impact the bottom line of our hotel clients.�

�The collaboration will enhance channel management activity for all customers of Trust�s Voyager|CRS as they get access to additional IDS channel options, which will further help them reach a wider market and increase revenue opportunities,� said Sascha Hausmann, COO of RateTiger. �For years, our integration team has been developing secure connections with IDS channels worldwide to assist hoteliers in an ever more competitive travel landscape. RTConnect encapsulates the complicated logic of integration between the various systems. Hence customers need not worry about how the data is traveling globally. They only need to connect to our services, provide their defined data which is mapped in RTConnect and invoke the services.�
