Barcelo Hotels & Resorts cuts online distribution costs and increases online booking revenue for its hotels in the Americas by joining http://www.aboutanywhere.com [AboutAnywhere.com].
http://www.barcelo.com/ [Barcelo Hotels & Resorts], one of the world's top hospitality and travel companies with 34 all-inclusive hotels and more than 10,000 guestrooms in Latin America and the Caribbean, and http://www.aboutanywhere.com/ [AboutAnywhere.com], operator of the world's only free online distribution network for the hotel industry, have entered into a strategic partnership for online distribution in the Americas.
This rapidly expanding Spanish hotel chain will be able to use AboutAnywhere.com's easy Free Hotel Profile tool. At absolutely no cost, hotels are able to upload as much information and media as desired, manage and update their profiles as often as necessary, and receive direct traffic to and bookings on their own hotel websites.
"We approached AboutAnywhere.com after reading about their new commission-free model in the press. The model just makes sense for the industry and is long overdue. The timing with the economy is just perfect as we are definitely looking for ways to reduce distribution costs. We are really looking forward to a successful partnership with AboutAnywhere.com," said Miquel Moya, Director of Costumer Relationship & Ecommerce.
"Barcelo's commitment to work with AboutAnywhere.com is confirmation that we are doing something right," said Ashwin Kamlani, CEO, AboutAnywhere.com. "We are extremely proud of the fact that the most prestigious hotel chains from all over the world are embracing our commission-free distribution model. The more hotels and hotel chains that participate with us, the more effective we will be in driving traffic and bookings, and in reducing distribution costs for the hotel industry. That is what will make us a successful company and the future looks very promising for AboutAnywhere.com and the hotel industry."
