FastBooking, a leading provider of advanced Internet booking systems and e-marketing services for the hospitality industry, announced the launch of Collection-Hotels.com, an exciting new booking Web site for luxury hotel properties.
Featuring only four and five-star luxury establishments, Collection-Hotels.com debuts with a unique selection of hotels located in the world's most sought-after locations. Each hotel is illustrated with up to 50 photos and high-quality videos.
“The quality of the selected hotels, the richness of the site’s content and, of course, a direct link to each hotel’s official Web site, are key resources contributing to the promotion of each establishment," said Jean Louis Boss, FastBooking vice president of marketing.
Visitors to Collection-Hotels.com will find the most recent and comprehensive list of special offers, packages, tariffs and room availability for each hotel. Unique to FastBooking, Collection-Hotels provides a direct link to each hotel’s official Web site making it easy for visitors to reserve their stay directly with the hotel of their choice.
Jean Louis Boss said, “The design of the Web site is resolutely contemporary. Guests can quickly and easily find what they are looking for. Whether its hotel amenities, location, images, pricing and offers, visitors want to be assured that the hotel meets their demands.”
Visitors to Collection-Hotels will find the best available rates for the hotels of their choice because offers are configured by the hotels on their official Web sites. The booking technology behind Collection-Hotels is the same as and directly linked to the technology client hotels use. The systems exchange information in real-time so visitors access the most up-to-date information.
Whether visitors opt to book on a hotel’s official site or via the Collection-Hotels site, the FastBooking Engine facilitates their experience through a rapid and easy-to-understand interface and access to each hotel’s complete offering.
For hoteliers, the FastBooking Engine allows them to promote their entire range of services, incorporate special offers and promotions, easily manage cancellations and modifications as well as making reservation tracking and reporting a breeze.
“In addition to positioning the hotels in an environment of pre-eminent luxury, the Web site increases their visibility. Hoteliers benefit from the promotional savvy of world-renowned internet marketing experts and the industry’s most powerful hotel e-commerce technology,” said Jean Louis Boss.
