Bridgetown, Barbados - October 15th, 2008 - AXSES new GET CONNECTED  initiative offers a unique service combining Vast Global Distribution with breakthrough technology for Direct sales.

Global Distribution at a Click
Over 127 Barbados Hotels currently using AXSES arcRes Booking Engine, may now click a button to send rates and information to the screens of 600,000 international travel agents using the GDS network of Sabre, Amadeus and Pegasus, and TravelPort (formerly Galileo, Worldspan).

"The GDS network is simply the most powerful travel marketing network in the world", says Ian Clayton, CEO of AXSES. "AXSES new technology makes it simple and affordable to get GDS connected. AXSES arcRes Booking Engine is FREE to all hotels hosted with AXSES. Our Package is a unique solution to help hotels improve brand marketing, distribution and Direct sales".

In addition to GDS marketing and brand exposure, AXSES arcRes users will also receive a huge boost in visibility and Direct business, with the new innovative bookable-ads technology, http://Bookable-ads.com, developed by AXSES.

With arcRes and bookable-ads, even a point on a map is immediately bookable, giving the traveler the option to drill down to specific interests, add the point to a shopping cart, compare features and costs  and save it to their MyRealHolidays website.

AXSES arcRes Booking Engine also powers Direct Business on a network of 30 Caribbean travel channels and http://Barbados.org.

Many hotels in Barbados get direct business from these channels: Randall Ward, Manager of Silver Sands Hotel,  confirms: "Nearly all of our direct business is coming from our AXSES e-commerce and Barbados.org advertising".  

AXSES Systems Caribbean Inc, owns Barbados.org, BookingsBarbados.com, RealHolidays.com and over 30 Caribbean websites marketing Barbados. AXSES websites are powered by travel software developed by AXSES. This includes booking systems, marketing systems, advertising systems and hundreds of travel components, integrated into a comprehensive Travel Platform. AXSES Websites and travel tools are designed for Direct sales. Nearly all tourism operators in Barbados are clients of AXSES, many use AXSES technology to help them compete for more Direct business.

AXSES builds supplier centered, supply chain solutions,
focused on Direct sales and facilitating distribution.

 

AXSES has partnered with GDS Pioneer, Genares, to provide a seamless connection to GDS systems. Genares is also connected to travel sites like Expedia and is the first Central Reservation System fully integrated with EZ Yield Channel Management. EZ Yield is an optional service that will allow hotels to manage rates and availability across hundreds of travel sites and on-line travel agent portals.

Rates and inventory management across multiple channels is now a major problem for small hotels who find it difficult to keep up with the technology and master many systems. Channel management allows hotels to manage multiple rates in multiple channels with a single system.
