IDS Next Dominates Emerging Hotel Markets and Closes Another Record-Breaking Month

IDS Next, a leading global provider of next-generation technology solutions for the hotel industry, today released their list of new clients in the coveted emerging markets of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, signing a total of 36 new deals in February 2019.

With the explosion of travel into emerging markets, IDS Next has been positioned as the hotel industry's first choice in technology solutions for Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. For decades, IDS Next has demonstrated unrivalled domain expertise as a provider of leading-edge solutions that optimize operational costs, increase revenues, and surpass guest engagement goals for hotels in all market segments, whether enterprise or single property. Their line of innovative solutions include highly integrated hotel management software, restaurant management software, central reservations, hotel channel management, and mobile apps.

"The future of growth in emerging markets is tremendous," explains Binu Mathews, CEO of IDS Next. "New generations of travelers are seeking out authentic, exotic experiences and leaving behind the once trendy, "Euro Trip" destinations. They are exploring Egypt, Sri Lanka, and Morocco. With news of at least 20 new hotels in the pipeline for South Africa, companies with global targeting need to take advantage of the dramatic opportunities for revenue growth in hospitality in the emerging markets of Africa, India, the Middle East and APAC. Those that deliver innovative solutions combined with client-centered, 24/7 support service in local languages, and a deep understanding of how to foster the sales relationship with different cultures will be the ones to watch."
