What’s so special about the
eviivo connection to Global Distribution Systems (GDS)?

With the Hotelnet connection, eviivo offers a serviced GDS solution for small to mid-market independent accommodations (a minimum of 10 bedrooms usually applies), hotels and hotel chains, expanding their visibility to over 600,000 travel, airline and corporate reservation agencies worldwide.

FAQs
Hotelnet provides an easy way to work with GDS platforms, which connect properties to travel agents and corporate booking tools. The main GDS platforms include Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport. Listing on GDS platforms does not typically provide visibility on customer-facing websites, but instead gives your property exposure on the channels used to book corporate travel.
The benefit: An inexpensive solution for small to mid-market independent hotels and hotel chains to increase visibility to over 450,000 travel agents worldwide. More opportunities to boost weekday occupancy rates and earn repeat bookings.
Hotelnet applies a fixed percentage of commission on each reservation (inclusive of GDS fees). This commission will vary, but it typically sits between 12-22%.
