AMSTERDAM, April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Booking.com today announced the launch of BookingSuite, a new unit of Booking.com that helps accommodation providers grow their businesses and brands through next-generation technology and distribution expertise.
Booking.com today partners with more than 625,000 accommodation providers to offer travelers around the world the best places to stay for every budget. Now with the launch of BookingSuite, Booking.com is extending its distribution expertise to accommodation providers so they can more effectively grow their businesses and brands.
BookingSuite offers cloud-based software solutions to accommodation providers worldwide. BookingSuite's first product - mobile-optimized websites - is engineered to drive organic bookings and give accommodation owners a sophisticated web presence with full content control. BookingSuite enables its partners to keep pace with fast-moving technology by continuously updating its products at no extra cost to partners. The result is future-proofed solutions and one less thing to worry about for busy accommodation providers.
"BookingSuite property websites represent a great leap forward for the industry, said Rob Ransom, Director of BookingSuite. "For the first time, accommodation providers in all regions of the world can benefit from a high-quality online presence with no financial risk and no operational and technical headaches. BookingSuite eliminates time and resources wasted with traditional website development and management, enabling partners to benefit immediately from a strong online presence."
BookingSuite's newest product, WebDirect, is for Booking.com partners who want a sophisticated web presence with minimal effort and no financial risk. WebDirect customers only pay when a reservation is made through their booking engine and results in a stay by guests, making WebDirect effectively risk-free. There are no other fees or charges.
Building a strong online business and brand identity doesn't have to be challenging for property owners. Partners benefit immediately from WebDirect's advanced information architecture, engineered with a rich user experience and data-driven designs that perform flawlessly across all devices. WebDirect websites include all the essential pages needed to convert visitors to bookers and are easily updated through one simple-to-use content management system.
Shane Pappas, General Manager of The Keating Hotel in San Diego, California, has been using BookingSuite for a little less than a year, but has already seen significant return on investment.
"We've definitely seen that return on investment and felt the benefit of having this as a tool," Pappas said. "Running BookingSuite through Booking.com has created an added value for all our hotels in that it makes everything more seamless and easier on our end to do what we do day-to-day. As hoteliers, we are all busy. Anything we can implement that's going to add time is a huge added value for us."
