OPTIMIZE YOUR GDS PRESENTATION

Despite periodical fluctuations, GDSs continue to hold a portion of all hotel revenue. GDSs are instrumental for hotels to secure and increase corporate business. They usually also achieve higher ADRs than other electronic channels. To gain more visibility for travel agents – and maximize revenue –, targeted, correct, consistent and easy searchable GDS content and availability are prerequisites.

h2c’s GDS content optimization services can help you optimize hotel content displayed in the GDS systems. Meeting travel agents’ search behavior and expectations results in more profitable corporate bookings.

Based on h2c’s numerous client projects, GDS content failure rates often average between 20 and 30 percent, depending on the frequency of checks.
