Berlin, 12 July 2007 - design hotels AG, an integrated service provider of marketing and positioning services for individually managed hotels and small hotel groups, announces a partnership agreement with the Kiwi Collection.
Through its website and award-winning publications, Kiwi Collection provides high-end travellers and travel agents with an up-to-date resource of fine accommodations. It also provides insight and news regarding luxury travel destinations and events through its online magazine WOW travel.
To date the Kiwi Collection has signed over 1,900 properties worldwide, each of which offers outstanding guest experiences. Kiwi Collection provides marketing and distribution channels for properties, which in turn increases interest and global visibility, drives traffic, and generates direct bookings from the lucrative high-end traveller market.
Through the partnership with Kiwi Collection, design hotels™ provides its member hotels additional benefits. The agreement enables design hotels™ to feature selected member hotels on the Kiwi Collection website, in addition to allowing for efficient and dynamic rate management, and a guarantee of competitive pricing. Another advantage is that rates are managed via the design hotels™ CRS platform; hotels can update and standardize their availability and pricing structure on all sales channels, leading to single image inventory and pricing.
The partnership with Kiwi Collection marks one of over a dozen marketing agreements that design hotels™ has initiated this year alone. The company is committed to seeking out opportunities and affiliations that provide additional value and increased exposure for its member hotels. By selecting key partners that are on par with design hotels’ target customer group and achieve a wide geographical coverage, the company enables its member hotels to reach a broader online audience in a continuously growing market segment.
