Completes XML integration to expand accessible room inventory base
Ireland based DisabledFriendlyHotels.com has completed integration with eRevMax, the leading provider of hotel online distribution solutions, to expand its network of disabled friendly (or accessible) room inventory. Accommodation providers using eRevMax’s distribution solutions will now be able to make real-time rate and inventory updates and receive bookings generated through the channel.
Founded in 2013, DisabledFriendlyHotels.com is a one-of-its kind booking channel which gives hotels an opportunity to sell their disabled friendly rooms online. The integration with eRevMax will help the OTA to gain access to broader inventories, improve booking conversion and increase revenue as part of its growth plan in Ireland and UK.
“DisabledFriendlyHotels.com has been set up to cater specifically to the disabled community by providing accessible rooms that can be booked online through our website. We are thankful to eRevMax for all their help and assistance with this innovative and socially responsible project. This XML connectivity with eRevMax will help us tap new hotel partners thereby expanding our reach and visibility. We aim to improve occupancy and rates for hotels’ accessible room inventory thus improving profits so it is a win-win for everyone,”
Co-Founder, DisabledFriendlyHotels.com
“It’s an honour for us to be the first channel manager to integrate with DisabledFriendlyHotels.com – a socially responsible initiative which will be greatly beneficial to a large section of travelers who otherwise found it difficult to book online. Our partnership further enhances our capability of offering a diverse range of distributors through the eRevMax Channel Ecosystem. This will give our hotel partners a unique opportunity to sell their accessible inventory effectively and improve revenue”
eRevMax solutions - RateTiger, RTConnect and LIVE – the web-based integrated management dashboard, are being used by over 20,000 hotels worldwide to increase revenue, streamline business processes and reduce booking acquisition cost. Based on dynamic pricing algorithms, eRevMax’s automated channel management solutions help hotels update rates and inventory according to supply and demand changes across multiple sales channels in real-time.
Our mission is to promote accessible travel whilst improving occupancy, pricing and ancillary income hotels receive from their accessible room inventory. We specialise in the booking of the hotel industry’s disabled friendly or accessible rooms although we also offer standard rooms for friends and family of the disabled traveller. We believe that the greater use of accessible room inventory by the disabled community will improve the hotel’s overall guest experience. A listing with DisabledFriendlyHotels.com offers improved social awareness and an opportunity for the hotel to promote its accessibility credentials to a large and lucrative market. We charge a very reasonable booking commission rate of 10% and we have a no show refund policy of the first night’s stay.
