Brands Facing Flag-Loss Turn to World's Fastest Growing Reservations Services Provider
Genares Worldwide Reservations Services (Genares), an industry-leading reservations services company, is giving hotels threatened with flag-loss in 2010 a place to turn. Already bucked by the stress of losing the brand, hotels are looking to Genares for affordable, turnkey solutions to pull them through the worst.
Interest in reservations services by Genares is at an all-time high following a controversial announcement at November's IHG Americas Investors & Leadership Conference. IHG announced that 300 Holiday Inns risk losing their flag if they fail to comply with the brand-wide $1 billion overhaul.
Unfortunately, many threatened hotels face financial contract restrictions or simply can't afford the costly renovations. These hotels are now turning to Genares for hassle-free, revenue-boosting measures they can afford.
Genares offers de-flagged hotels two major benefits: sensible pricing and a complete end-to-end solution. The Genares platform puts the hotels in control with an open-ended and customizable GDS operable entirely in-house without third-party reliance. All Genares technologies are proprietary, making it the only reservations services provider to offer a one-stop solution for hotels and hotel management companies.
Genares services critical to flag-threatened hotels include:
• Seamless GDS connectivity and PMS integration
• Genares gBooker, reliable custom booking engines
• Hotel Internet marketing
• Custom Web site creation
• Real-time, one-source maintenance and support
Eugene Harris, President of Genares, sees the de-flagging as an opportunity for hotels to prioritize weaknesses and find effective solutions:
"In harsh economic times, the expensive demands of maintaining a flag are more daunting than ever. Hotels facing flag-loss have a chance to get their house in order and secure their future with a reasonable investment in comprehensive GDS services with Genares."
