for Hotels Via DerbySoft
Frankfurt,
Germany and Shanghai – July 25, 2011 –
Trust International and DerbySoft, the connectivity technology company,
just
completed the connection between the yourVoyager CRS and DerbySoft’s
global
platform. The interface between the companies’ systems will enable
distribution
of real-time rates and inventory from Trust International’s portfolio
of hotel
clients to buyers on the DerbySoft system, including large demand
channels
around the world, as well as hundreds of previously inaccessible travel
agents
and websites within China. The new Trust|Connect IDS channel will allow travelers to access all of Trust’s hotels worldwide via local booking sites that they know and are comfortable using. “DerbySoft is pleased to partner with Trust International to be able to deliver the rates and inventory of their extensive range of hotels to demand partners, and we’re excited that the pilot demand partner for the Trust connection is Travelsky, China’s GDS,” said David Revelle, DerbySoft’s Director of Business Development. “This connection will allow Travelsky’s 8,000 agencies to access Trust rates and availability and make reservations seamlessly to drive revenue for Trust’s hotels,” he added. “The Chinese market is very important to us and continues to grow rapidly,” said Richard Wiegmann, managing director, Trust International. “We anticipate that the DerbySoft interface will be very advantageous to us in increasing our visibility, penetration and revenues in China to help us continue our growth momentum there while providing cost-efficiencies for distribution of real-time rates and inventory in China. In Trust’s ongoing quest to provide ‘best of breed’ products and services to customers, this interface with DerbySoft is one more example of how we are continually adding solutions that not only improve our interfaces and maximize resources, but also help customers improve services and reduce costs.” About
