Expedia joins the list of strong distribution channels at Cultuzz, and eBay as HRS, hotel.de, booking, ehotel. “We want to direct links create for all major distributors as well as to the regional major portals”, says Dr. Reinhard Vogel, Managing Director of Cultuzz.”We attach importance in technology we can send not only information, but also received.
Just so we can speak of a closed circuit of information.” Own software developments such as CultSwitch, CultBay and CultBooking are based on the success of Cultuzz. Cultuzz stores all in one central database relevant information of the respective hotels by availabilities, prices, cancellation and payment terms to photos, room and directions. This data between the hotel management program (PMS) and numerous booking platforms is exchanged in fully automated processes. Incoming bookings returned immediately from the booking platforms at the hotel systems, so that the information circuit is completely closed. In this system, the hotelier has three important benefits: enormous time savings through centralized data maintenance, rate parity across all booking platforms and an effective system against overbooking. “And if he is still not on a channel, then we assist,” adds Sales Director Michael Jarugski. Expedia is the world’s largest online travel portal with a booking volume of 20 billion US dollars. On expedia.de, hotels, flights and car hire can be booked.
