HotelsCombined.com and Best Western Team Up
HotelsCombined.com, the hotel meta-search engine, and Best Western International, have jointly announced their new partnership. This partnership allows distribution of Best Western hotels via HotelsCombined.com.
With the systems integration finalized on www.HotelsCombined.com, travelers can now search and compare live hotel rates from over 4,000 independently owned and operated Best Western hotels worldwide. Travelers choosing to make their hotel reservation direct with Best Western are then redirected to www.BestWestern.com where they will be able to complete their hotel booking without additional fees or mark-ups.
Yury Shar, HotelsCombined.com Managing Director, welcomed the new partnership, "We are excited about our partnership with Best Western -- an industry pioneer with one of the most renowned and iconic brands. Our ability to generate incremental direct business on a global scale is becoming a more attractive proposition to hotel chains like Best Western."
Kimi Anderson, General Manager of Sales and Marketing, Best Western Australasia, said, "This partnership gives our customers real-time rates and availability for over 4,000 properties worldwide. For our properties, it gives them a new distribution channel without any of the headaches of managing a new process. The management of rates already integrated into the current system means they will be able to reach more potential guests, without lifting a finger."
