Best Western Expands Distribution

Best Western Hotels is now bookable via a direct interface on the online hotel reservation platform www.travelres.com, powered by German-based hotel.de. By this, more than 4,200 hotels of the Best Western group can be booked directly and immediately, with no delay, via www.travelres.com.

Best Western is the first hotel group disposing of a direct interface to the online hotel reservation service www.travelres.com. Any reservation of a Best Western hotel activated through www.travelres.com will be transmitted directly into the hotel chain’s reservation system.

“The advantages for the booking customer resulting from this strategic partnership between www.travelres.com and Best Western are obvious”, says Reinhard Wick, CSO of hotel.de AG. “The direct connection without any intermediate steps first of all guarantees a quicker availability check and in addition, assures a direct and thorough transmission of all relevant data.”

By means of so-called “direct connects”, all rate types and conditions are automatically displayed and the booker can use www.travelres.com as if he booked via the hotel’s own website. Bookers can now access Best Western early-bird rates, daily-updated best price rates and negotiated company rates.
