Bahrain based Loumage Suites & Spa Seef experienced 15% revenue growth with RateTiger

Leading Russian online hotel booking agency Oktogo.ru, now rebranded as Travel.ru has completed a two-way direct XML connection with eRevMax for seamless rate and booking management. Hotel companies partnering with Oktogo will now be able to make real-time ARI (Availability, Rates & Inventory) updates and receive bookings generated on these channels through eRevMax solutions directly into their property management system. Travel.ru will also benefit from eRevMax’s Reservation Delivery service, which facilitates automatic transfer of reservations data booked through its site.

Following the 2-way XML interface certification with eRevMax, Travel.ru joins the eRevMax Channel Ecosystem, thereby gaining access to a broader range of hotel product to complement their growth plans across Europe, and can expect to see improved booking conversion on existing accounts. Travel.ru has the largest database of hotels online in the Russian cities, with over 5,000 domestic properties and over 350,000 hotels worldwide.

“We are glad to announce our partnership with eRevMax that shall help grow our hotel network both in Russia and CIS countries. I believe that our hotel partners and customers will also benefit from it, as eRevMax strives to deliver some of the most up-to-date rates and availability to online travel agencies while reducing scope for overbookings,” said Marina Kolesnik, CEO, Travel.ru (formerly Oktogo.ru).

Hotels can leverage Travel.ru for improving market reach in Russia, as the travel site is designed specifically for Russian travelers. Russia is one of the fastest growing online travel market in Europe and is valued at more than $10 billion in 2013. The website attracts more than 1 million unique visitors each month. This offers immense opportunities for accommodation providers to get in front of a larger traveler base through eRevMax’s sophisticated real-time channel management technologies, making sure they push availability, rates and inventory for improved online revenues.

Leading hotel channel management and connectivity solution provider eRevMax today announced its partnership with World Independent Hotel Promotion (WIHP) to offer meta-search management capabilities. Through this partnership, hotel customers of eRevMax’s RateTiger and Connect solutions can push real time rates and availabilities to Google Hotel Finder, TripAdvisor, Trivago, Kayak and WeGo to drive more booking traffic directly to their own booking engine.

eRevMax now provides XML interface connectivity to all channel classes (OTAs, Wholesalers, Tour Operators, Social Media, Metasearch sites) from a single platform and allow hoteliers to bid for higher positions in the meta-search channels and increase the visibility of the rates available on the hotels’ website. WIHP will also provide hotels with a managed service to execute the Bid Management process from a digital marketing perspective based upon a monthly or daily advertising budget.  "While meta-search has existed for several years, it hasn't been available as a direct booking channel for hotels on a broad scale. A few years ago we made it our business to give access to meta-search and all levels of qualified direct booking leads to hotels. By working with eRevMax we're giving this access to tens of thousands of hotels which is a great thing for everyone who wants to increase direct bookings," said Martin Soler, VP - Sales & Marketing, World Independent Hotel Promotion.  “Meta-search has become really mainstream, and has witnessed 13% growth in travel search traffic over last year. With over 28% travellers preferring meta-search to compare hotel rates, it is a highly effective tool that will allow our customer hotels to reach out to a much larger audience and offer an extended scope for pushing more direct bookings through a direct booking eco-system of meta-search sites,” said Michael McCartan, CEO, eRevMax.
