GuestCentric Systems, a premier software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider for the independent hotel industry, announced further enhancements to its easy-to-use GuestCentric online booking and marketing service, including multilingual support for Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese languages.

With expanded language support and capabilities, GuestCentric can help hotel operators easily expand their online presence to international markets to attract new Web site visitors, increase bookings and online revenue.  

Designed to meet the demands of attracting guests from all over the world, GuestCentric’s new multilingual support overcomes the need to rely on custom development of a property’s Web site for each country. Hoteliers simply click on the desired GuestCentric-built page to be translated, add the information in the desired language and the service automatically places the new page in the Web site.

“With support for international languages, independent hotels can now leverage GuestCentric’s service to generate more online revenue in a struggling travel economy,” said Pedro Colaco, president & CEO GuestCentric Systems. “We continue to work to provide independent hotels with an easy-to-use, time-saving service that uses the latest technologies to help them level the playing field with large chains.”

“International travelers represent 40 percent of our online bookings. That is why it was crucial for Memmo Baleira Hotel to offer a multilingual Web site,” said Rodrigo Machaz, general manager at Memmo Baleira Hotel.  “With GuestCentric’s language support, publishing our Web site in different languages was really easy, once we had the hotel’s information translated, the Web site was up and running in a couple of minutes.”
