Frankfurt, Germany and Orlando (FL), USA – TripAdvisor® has certified Trust

International as a TripConnect Premium Partner on TripAdvisor's new platform. TripConnect is a powerful new way for hotels to generate incremental bookings by participating in hotel price comparison and self-managing their online advertising campaigns using TripConnect's unique bid management platform. Trust International, one of the leading central reservation service (CRS) providers for the hospitality industry, will utilize its Trust|GuestBooker booking application to provide the accommodation's real time availability and online booking capability to make this possible.

With the certification of Trust International as a TripConnect Premium Partner, accommodation clients

will be able to bid for TripAdvisor meta search traffic participate in automated review collection and track return on investment for their campaigns.

"We are more than happy to offer the two-way interface between our yourVoyager CRS and TripConnect. It can provide the guests of participating

hotel groups with direct access and booking functionality via one of the largest travel communities in the world. It is an excellent tool to help us maximize revenue for our hotels and at the same time improve the customer experience," commented Richard Wiegmann, Managing Director of Trust International.

Larpent, TripAdvisor's Head of Direct Connect Development.
