Dorint Hotels & Resorts (www.dorint.com), with 41 hotels and resorts in Germany & Europe, and Trust International celebrate their 7th anniversary of distribution partnership following a year of excellent results using Trust's new Internet booking engine (IBE) technology Trust|Guestbooker.

Dorint is utilizing the Trust technology to display the hotels in the Global Distribution Systems via the DO code, in their own service center to generate reservations for the group, and on the Dorint website to provide their guests with feature-rich information and direct, real-time access to rates, availability and descriptive content for their properties. By using the new Trust|Guestbooker on its website, Dorint's production increased by 28% in room nights and about 45% in revenue during the last 12 months. Other online travel agency (OTA) channels handled via Trust increased by 15% in room nights, and 27% in revenue, for the period of the cooperation.

"We do everything possible to provide our guests with the best service, and highest quality," says Barbara Stockebrand, Director Sales & Distribution at Dorint Hotels & Resorts. "The availability of our hotels, the best possible display of the information, as well as a trusted reservation process, is part of it. And this is where the Trust products and services are helping us. They are the key factor in our longstanding and fruitful cooperation. We are looking forward to continue and grow this partnership in the future, resulting in growth of customer satisfaction and increased revenues."

"We are very proud of our partnership with Dorint Hotels & Resorts," said Richard Wiegmann, Managing Director of Trust International. "Trust International is known for the close cooperation we have with our customers. With Dorint we have a living partnership and are growing their business by implementing latest technologies to help them increase sales and average daily rate."

The Dorint brand stands for congeniality, a warm and welcoming atmosphere and consistent quality in Dorint Hotels located in major cities of Germany and properties in Mallorca, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria and the latest addition – in the Netherlands, the Dorint Airport Hotel in Amsterdam.
