According to CRH official, David Werkou, CRH placed 600 hotels in the system so that they have immediate access with the new online system to well over 60 tourist operators and travel companies via the TDS method. It needs to be mentioned that TDS will be in direct contact with the GDS system and both methods will cooperate with the WizCom and Pegasus systems. Contact usually takes a record seven minutes and the CRH company is giving the opportunity to local agents in various nations all over the globe to make online reservations in the majority of hotels in France via the cooperation with local French tourist agents. Moreover, CRH also maintains a stiff and well-preserved data bank and communication line with major tourism operators.
The new TDS system, that was recently presented by the Mirror Image Communications company, MIC Ltd., combines all of the above tourism chain distribution services, as well as eases intercommunication between travel related companies with or without fax in the framework of lessening expenditures. The system, in question, does not sway from any of the other services offered by the chain, and is a program that allows hotels to place the system in their property and initialize their own rates with any agent they wish. Furthermore, agents log on to the system and place their offers in the profit margin that they want to sell the room at.
TDS, a B2B program, which is offered only to professional travel, related companies and not travelers. The program is offered to any or all travel professionals that plan to make a business trip as well as to large companies that want to hold hotels rooms for their staff.
According to the statements made by Managing Director of Development at MIC, Leman Ozkan, the program presently offers members only a choice of hotels for online reservation, however, it is intended that other travel related services will be featured in the near future. Such services include online airline reservations, rent-a-car services, as well as most travel related assistance.
