REZsolutions Signs Hostmark Properties for Global Distribution System Services

This expands the current REZsolutions service contract with the addition of six Hostmark properties, which can be found under the AZ code on the GDS.

"Without a GDS connection these six properties were not readily available to a large number of consumers that book reservations through travel agents," said Brian Tkac, corporate director of marketing for Hostmark. "By expanding REZsolutions' GDS service to eight properties, we hope to strengthen our visibility to travel agents and build brand awareness worldwide."

"Through this service, REZsolutions will give Hostmark's properties 24-hour exposure to more than 450,000 travel agent terminals around the world where agents can use the GDS to book reservations," said Geoff Andrew, senior vice president of the Americas for REZsolutions.

"The addition of six more properties to REZsolutions' contract with Hostmark demonstrates their confidence in our GDS service."

Operating hotels and resorts worldwide, Hostmark is the largest privately held third-party hospitality management and development firm in the country.

The eight REZsolutions-represented properties include the Aspen Club Lodge in Aspen, Colo.; Williamsburg Center in Williamsburg, Va.; Ojibway Hotel in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.; Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, Wis.; Danfords Inn in Pt. Jefferson, N.Y.; Holiday Isle Resort and Marina in Islamorada, Fla.; Mount Airy Lodge in Mount Pocono, Pa. and Harrison Hot Springs Resort in British Columbia, Canada.
