six months as a result of increasing online exposure through third parties. RTSuite Channelmanager allows the accommodation portfolio to manage room rates and inventory allocation on several online distribution channel extranets through a single interface. Club Mahindra has utilised RateTiger to connect to online travel agents for room and rate updates, and is now selling across five online sales channels. As a result, it has experienced average 87 per cent occupancy across all its properties in the last six months. In some properties, occupancy was 90–95 per cent.
“We wanted to be more proactive and promote our rates and inventory on various channels to boost occupancy. Online exposure is essential for some of our off-beat properties that give travellers an alternative option for their vacations. The implementation of RateTiger has resulted in faster and more extensive rate distribution, maximising our Billboard Effect and in turn improving how we yield more revenue,” said Saroj Mahapatra, Corporate Revenue Manager, Mahindra Holidays and Resorts India Ltd.
"The ability to update quickly, efficiently and transparently to multiple channels is an essential solution to revenue of the hotel," said Michael McCartan, CEO, eRevMax International. “Working with Mahindra Holidays and Resorts India and its 23 properties for this large rollout of the RateTiger channel management solution promises to bring tremendous value to Club Mahindra, and we look forward to a long and enduring partnership,” he said.
