WORLDHOTELS is renowned for providing its affiliate hotels with unparalleled support in sales, marketing, distribution, yield management and performance optimisation. Now, the global hotel group for independent hotels has introduced three new technology partnerships with MICROS OPERA, IDeaS and Amadeus Tour Market. They are designed to optimise revenue and profitability for its almost 500 properties and further increase their competitive advantages.

WORLDHOTELS negotiated a preferred partnership with MICROS Systems, enabling its affiliate hotels to obtain the OPERA Property Management System (PMS) at a special discounted rate. The state-of-the-art PMS offers multilingual, multicurrency solutions that are both flexible and scalable. The computerized system can manage guest bookings, online reservations, point of sale, telephone and other amenities.

In addition, WORLDHOTELS selected IDeaS Revenue Optimization, the leading provider of hospitality revenue optimization solutions, as its exclusive revenue management partner. As such, IDeaS will provide its services to WORLDHOTELS affiliate hotels at preferred discounted rates. The IDeaS next generation ASP system simplifies and optimises revenue management by analysing reservations, providing demand forecasts and generating decisions, as well pricing recommendations for future dates based on historical data and market trends.

Furthermore, WORLDHOTELS is the second hotel group worldwide to be linked with Amadeus Tour Market, the leading booking engine in the German-speaking tour operator and leisure travel market. As a result of this partnership, WORLDHOTELS properties can be accessed and booked by up to 45,000 Amadeus-licensed travel agents in Germany.
