Danish hotel OTA integrates with eRevMax for seamless connectivity

TouristOnline, one of the largest hotel online booking providers in Denmark has completed 2-way XML interface with eRevMax to offer robust connectivity to its growing base of customers. The integration will help accommodation providers connected to the channel use eRevMax’s online distribution platforms, RateTiger & Connect, for updating inventory availability and room rates in real-time helping them control pricing strategies and optimize their revenue. TouristOnline will also benefit from eRevMax’s Reservation Delivery service, which facilitates automatic transfer of reservations data booked through their various hotel booking portals like TouristOnline.dk, Hotel.dk, visitdenmark.com directly to the hotel management systems (CRS/PMS).

Following the 2-way XML interface certification with eRevMax, TouristOnline joins the eRevMax Channel Ecosystem, whereby all hotel booking sites within the group gain access to broader inventory of hotel product, will see improved booking conversion on existing accounts and expects to realize increased revenues as part of its growth plans across Europe.
