Genares and its gReserve Central Reservation System (CRS) will help Jin Jiang manage the inventory of 51 properties throughout China (located in such major cities as Shanghai, Beijing and Shenyang) across all distribution channels, including Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and the Internet.

“We are very pleased that such a premier Chinese hotel brand has enlisted Genares’ communications technology to increase exposure to consumers and travel professionals,” said Genares President Eugene Harris. “It will be rewarding to watch Jin Jiang’s bookings and revenues increase due to our state-of-the-art GDS resources.”

Genares is providing Jin Jiang with next-generation seamless connectivity to the GDS and access to more than 600,000 travel agents via Sabre, Galileo, Worldspan and Amadeus using the JJ chain code. In addition, Genares is linking the Jin Jiang hotels to all major Internet travel sites and furnishing a proprietary booking engine that interfaces with the brand’s web site, www.JinJiangHotels.com. The partnership supplies Jin Jiang with true ASP technology designed and built by Genares, eliminating third-party reliance.

Mr. Yang Wei Min, CEO of Jin Jiang International, commented, “The superior technology and services provided by Genares will give us an edge to expand our global distribution and drive revenue performance. We truly value the quality of services and products provided by Genares and we look forward to a successful partnership.”

Just recently, Genares also announced that it successfully completed the Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG) certification process and achieved certification of compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS), joining a short list of compliance-certified CRS providers.
