Select Hotels Partners with TravelCLICK

Select Hotels & Resorts International, Asia Pacific’s collection of luxury properties, has appointed TravelCLICK to supply central reservations and Internet distribution solutions for Select Member properties throughout the group, from 24 November 2007. Select will use the iHotelier central reservations system (CRS) for website reservations and GDS connectivity.

“The appointment of TravelCLICK is a critical decision at this time in the group’s development. It ensures that we will have the best available and best-supported system to satisfy our diverse range of needs covering GDS distribution, a booking engine for our guests with an instant confirmation facility on our Select website and essential support for our internal central reservation system with our emerging growth, said Ralph Kelly, Managing Director of Select.

“As the marketer of successful properties throughout Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and Asia, Select Hotels & Resorts International understands how the success of independent properties is defined today by a savvy online Internet presence and driving more bookings direct through their website,” said Jan Tissera, President of TravelCLICK International.

“Overall, this is viewed as an opportunity to provide Select Members with the best possible distribution in support of one of the most extensive marketing effort to date, thus giving members a significant edge over other groups,” Mr. Tissera concluded.
