- Selling to business?
- Can agencies find you?
- Are you on the GDS?
OTAs bring leisure. Business travelers book elsewhere.
A single connection to Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport, reaching agencies, travel managers and consortia. The corporate channel the OTAs don't reach — managed in the CRS, not in a separate connector.
OTAs bring leisure. Business books elsewhere.
The OTA market is overwhelmingly leisure. Business travelers — corporate clients, conference attendees, MICE groups — book largely through a different infrastructure: the Global Distribution System. It's the network that travel agencies, corporate travel managers and corporate booking tools use every day to find, price and book hotel rooms worldwide.
The GDS handles hundreds of millions of bookings a year and is the channel of choice for negotiated corporate rates and consortia programs. A hotel that isn't there is, for most travel managers, simply invisible. And most independent hotels aren't there: it takes connectivity to multiple systems, content managed to each one's standard, structured loading of negotiated rates, and handling of agency commissions.
Hotelnet absorbs that complexity. A single connection from the CRS opens Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport — and makes your hotel bookable by the corporate world OTAs don't reach.
One connection, three global GDS
Inventory, rates and availability distributed across Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport from a single CRS connection. No three connectivity contracts, three technical integrations, three operating procedures: one mapping, one rate plan, three GDS surfaces.
- Negotiated rates (LNR) and consortia programs in the same plan as BAR
- Content aligned to each GDS's standard — visibility depends on that too
- Agency commissions managed centrally, not property by property
Everything you need to exist in corporate
- Multi-GDS connectivityAmadeus, Sabre and Travelport/Galileo from a single connection: one mapping, one set of restrictions, three surfaces.
- Content managementRoom descriptions, photos and amenities aligned to each GDS's standard: content drives visibility as much as price does.
- Negotiated rates and consortiaCorporate LNRs, consortia programs and agency rates managed in the same structure as BAR and OTAs.
- Centralized commissionsAgency commissions (8–10%) routed centrally: no dozens of relationships and invoices to reconcile.
- Competitive positioningVisibility analysis against your comp set on the GDS, with recommendations on content and rates.
- Visible corporate demandBooking patterns from TMCs, consortia and corporate accounts, inside the same system that manages pricing and distribution.
From nowhere on the GDS to an active corporate channel
The third side of the triangle
Demand the other channels don't see
OTAs show leisure demand; the direct channel shows the demand you convert on your own site; the GDS shows a third population — corporate accounts, TMCs, consortia members, agency clients — with its own lead time, length of stay, price sensitivity and source market. A CRS that doesn't see this third population sees only two sides of a triangle.
Visible inside the same system
In a fragmented architecture, getting GDS data somewhere useful is the hard part: a standalone connector publishes the rates and downloads the bookings, but what those bookings mean for forecast, segment mix and contribution by channel has to be rebuilt downstream — usually in spreadsheets, often never. In Hotelnet a GDS booking, an OTA booking and a direct booking are the same kind of object, in the same data model. Any GDS connector publishes rates on Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport; ours makes corporate demand visible inside the same system that manages pricing, channel mix and direct booking.

What clients say
More channels, more visibility
"Excellent experience with the GDS and the Booking Engine. Managing bookings became extremely simple, and the integration with the distribution channels increased our visibility."
"We started using Revenue recently and we're really satisfied. The interface is intuitive and has let us manage rates dynamically — revenue improved right from the start."
What hoteliers ask us
Which GDS do you distribute on?
Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport/Galileo, from a single CRS connection: one mapping, one rate plan, three GDS surfaces.
Do you manage negotiated corporate rates and consortia programs?
Yes. Local Negotiated Rates, consortia programs (Virtuoso, Preferred, Leading where supported) and agency rates live in the same structure as BAR and OTAs: you define them once, we publish them in the format each GDS expects.
How do agency commissions work?
Agencies that book on the GDS typically earn 8–10%. The commission is routed centrally through Hotelnet: you don't open dozens of agency relationships or reconcile dozens of small invoices.
Can my independent hotel be on the GDS?
Yes. We absorb the complexity — connectivity, content, chain code, negotiated rates: exactly what usually keeps independent hotels out of the corporate channel.
Does GDS booking data end up in my system?
Yes. A GDS booking is the same kind of object as a direct and an OTA booking, in the same data model: it feeds forecast, segment mix and contribution by channel, with no downstream rebuilding.
