Frankfurt and Doha – Qatar Airways has chosen Trust International to provide distribution services for its first hotel, The Airport Hotel (www.hiahotel.com), located inside the passenger terminal at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar.
The Airport Hotel is now bookable in all global distribution systems (GDSs) and via its own website and booking engine powered by Trust|GuestBooker Internet booking engine (IBE). Trust|GuestBooker integrates all the latest booking technology features into The Airport Hotel's booking engine so guests have real-time access to rates, availability, the hotel's descriptive content and photos.
Qatar Airways has strong expansion plans with several new hotel openings scheduled for the next two years.
"We were looking for a partner with extensive experience in the Middle East region," said Philippe Anric, General Manager for The Airport Hotel. "As Trust is already successfully servicing hotels in Qatar and other Arabic countries, Trust was our first choice. With their scalable technology and global capabilities, we believe they are the ideal partner for us.
"Many hotel brands in the Middle East are operating only within the region and do not yet have an international distribution strategy for channels like GDS, OTA, etc.," noted
Richard Wiegmann, Managing Director of Trust International. "Clearly Qatar Airways is looking toward the future and international expansion by seeking to integrate the most advanced distribution technologies available. Trust is uniquely positioned among the CRSs to help them as we have the broadest international base, are the only CRS with a presence in Qatar and we provide state of the art, customized IBE and CRS solutions tailored to meet their needs, maximize conversions, productivity and revenue."
