TRUST International Successfully Implements Boutique Hotel Group For Distribution Services

TRUST's real-time technology will seamlessly connect BHG to over 500,000 travel agencies worldwide via automated, direct interfaces to all major Global Distribution Systems. BHG is also implementing TRUST Web, an Internet distribution product that easily connects the company to third party Internet hotel booking engines. To easily manage specific property information such as on-site facilities, reservation policies and other data, BHG will use TRUST Content, a management tool that enables hoteliers to provide their individual features through a single point of data entry, which then is distributed to multiple booking channels via the GDS. The products and services will significantly enhance BHG's overall reservations services.

"We are pleased that Boutique Hotel Group has chosen TRUST as its exclusive distribution partner," said Connie Rheams, president of TRUST in the Americas. "TRUST is playing an integral part in launching BHG's private label GDS code. In preparation of the launch, an extensive GDS marketing plan was prepared and executed jointly by the two entities."

With the signing of Boutique Hotel Group, six New York City member hotels will implement the products including The Roger Williams, Hotel Wales, The Franklin, The Mansfield, The Shoreham and the new Hotel 41 at Times Square.
