“Many hotels and groups have come to us for their Web marketing, design and management, but because they have long-term agreements with existing reservation systems we have not been able to work with them,” said Marion Hughes, vice president, OPEN Interactive. “Through OPEN Interactive we are now able to provide these hoteliers with Web solutions to complement their existing marketing programs without requiring them to use our reservation system and at the same time make our non-Web reservation system services more readily available to the industry.”

Services provided by OPEN Interactive include: customized Website design, Website management, search engine optimization, revenue management, integrated online marketing programs and reporting and E-marketing analysis & tracking.

One of the first hotel groups to sign a multi-year agreement with OPEN Interactive is Warwick International Hotels. Services provided by OPEN Interactive to the Warwick Collection of hotels include all Web design, development and hosting needs as well as projects that include email marketing, search engine optimization and customer integration into existing platforms.

“We chose to work with OPEN based on their exceptional track record with Web design and development techniques,” said G. Paul LeBlanc, Vice President Marketing & Sales for Warwick International Hotels. “OPEN has worked diligently to earn our trust and to proactively address both our existing Web needs and our desired future enhancements. Our initial migration to the OPEN platform was seamless and professionally conducted and we continue to be impressed with both their quick and efficient response times and their proactive approach to our needs.”

“We are proud to be working with Warwick International Hotels. In just the short time we have been working together, we have formed a true partnership and are looking forward to growing the relationship and expanding their Web presence with our leading technologies,” said Hughes.

In addition to hotels, OPEN Interactive provides services for other areas within the travel industry including airlines, car rental companies and cruise lines.
