TourConnect is pleased to announce an agreement with AccorHotels Australia, Australia’s largest hotel operator, to streamline AccorHotels annual contracting process. AccorHotels will now be able to manage the distribution of annual rates for over 200 properties across the region using TourConnect’s Cloud-based platform.
The idea for this blog post came from one of the results of our Supplier Survey that we recently conducted. The question we asked was “Of the partners that you send annual rates to, how many of them actually make bookings?” Seems pretty straight forward, right? You would assume that a Supplier wouldn’t take the time to send their rates to a company that wasn’t going to send them business, but in reality, it is surprisingly common. Read More
Last year TourConnect released the results from our Inaugural Tour Operator Survey in which we asked tour operators about the struggles they had regarding managing relationships and supplier rates. The results were so helpful in shedding light on some of the challenges within the tourism industry that we decided to expand on it to include information from the Supplier’s perspective. We hope you find the results of the survey as fascinating as we do. Be sure to click on the links below for our detailed analysis as well as checking out our 2015 Supplier Survey Results to see how they compare to the supplier results.
NOTE: Results from our 2015 Tour Operator Survey will be published next week. Read More
