PlacesToStay seals three more deals

Sunday, 26 Jan, 2006 0

Online travel services provider FEXCO AllTravel has clinched three distribution deals for its PlacesToStay arm.

The company’s private rate hotel inventory is to be provided to fares consolidator and online service provider Farex Systems, online hotel distributor HotelStayUK which operates the hotelstayuk.com web site, and specialist software and dynamic packaging house HyperTech Solutions.

The deals follow a similar agreement with regional travel agency group Dawson & Sanderson and online sun and sea accommodation specialist Alturabeds.com.

PlacesToStay is the rebranded online hotel reservation programme bought by FEXCO from CNG Travel Group in October.

Its inventory of more than 25,000 hotel properties will be distributed to agency subscribers to Farex Systems’ web-based Travel Navigator web portal for the UK travel industry (www.travelnavigator.info).

HotelStayUK, through its web sites such as www.hotelstayuk.com, provides online search and reservation services direct to consumers. It offers search and booking capabilities for around 250 UK businesses including Boots, Halifax, Marks & Spencer, Harrods, John Lewis Partnership, Vodafone, Ford and the NHS.

US-based HyperTech Solutions provides an advanced reservation application including dynamic packaging technology for tour operators, airlines, hotels, consolidators and online travel providers. HyperTech customers include Amadeus, Perillo Tours, Central Holidays, Costco, Soltour, Rail Europe and Alitalia.

FEXCO AllTravel head of business development and distribution Tim Wright said: “Once again, travel agents, consolidators and online travel services are strengthening their armoury in the battle to remain competitive.

“With PlacesToStay, they can offer more hotel content and therefore choice for their trade and consumer customers, which should help to increase bookings. PlacesToStay’s proposition is simple and compelling: we’ll give you full booking access to a growing range of worldwide hotels offering competitive rates, and we’ll collect and pay attractive commission. It’s all about adding value.”
