Metro Hotels Sees Robust Results After Switch to Sabre Hospitality Solutions’ Comprehensive Distribution Solutions

Sabre Hospitality Solutions, the industry’s leading global hospitality technology company, announced today that Australian hotel group, Metro Hotels, has reported a more than 70 percent increase in bookings as compared to market growth of 4.5 percent after switching to Sabre Hospitality Solutions’ distribution technology and marketing services.  

 

The hotel company migrated to Sabre Hospitality Solutions’ SynXis Central Reservation System in November 2011 to connect seamlessly to all channels including distributing rooms and rates through all four major Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), as well as hundreds of online travel agents.

Metro Hotels has 14 properties throughout Australia and is the oldest 100 percent Australian owned and managed hotel chain.  The hotel group has offered accommodation in key cities and popular holiday and tourist destinations for more than 30 years. 

 

“We have seen huge improvements across the board since our switch to Sabre Hospitality Solutions,” said, Carlie Tait, Group eCommerce Coordinator for Metro Hotels.  “The high level of support, responsiveness and product knowledge we get from Sabre’s Australia based team, as well as the functionality and efficiencies of the system, have made a noticeable impact for our hotels.  I have yet to find anything negative.” 

 

More specifically, the SynXis CRS took Metro Hotel’s turnaround time for rate loading from over a week to just one day.  The enhanced system functionality also allows for a higher volume of information and images that Metro Hotels can load for each property giving the chain the ability to capture a wider audience.

 

“Metro Hotels is taking full advantage of our CRS solution and their results show how the functionality of the system can really make a difference,” said Patrick Andres, vice president Asia-Pacific for Sabre Hospitality Solutions.  “They are also armed with accurate and useful reporting that gives them comprehensive insight  around key source markets and areas that require additional focus.”

To address this, we have included in the Package a hearty hot or cold buffet breakfast, along with an Exhibitor Survival Pack to ensure they will not go hungry during the day.”

Metro Hotels Exhibits at BTTB

Metro Hotels exhibits at BTTB

Over the past few years, travel managers and suppliers have had to contend with dramatic and often unpredictable changes in the business environment. Natural disasters, financial crisis, political turmoil and civil unrest made travel planning difficult and put pressures not only on travellers, but also on their managers.

With so much uncertainty surrounding their roles, travel managers need as much information as possible about the aspects they can control, and this year’s BTTB Australia conference aimed to provide vital insights into the travel supply chain. From pricing trends to global best practice, the conference content aimed to draw on the best information out there and apply it to the demands of Australasian travel management.

Over two days, delegates heard from leading experts as well as learnt from their peers in a conference programme that addressed the key issues of the day.

Now in its 13th year, also included the region’s biggest business travel trade show where leading suppliers such as Metro Hotels were on hand to demonstrate their products, services and solutions and discuss developments in their particular field.

Metro Hotels Hammers Out a Great Idea for Trade Shows

What started as a simple idea for a low cost give-away has turned into a piece of marketing magic for Metro Hotels.

The sales department at Metro Hotels were looking for a low cost item that they could give-away to delegates who attended the many business trade shows the company exhibited at. "We looked at the usual stress balls and similar sorts of things and then we came across the stress hammer," according Metro Hotels Business Development Manager Richard Amour. "It was quirky, unique and had a certain attraction that we couldn't pass up," he explained.

The stress hammers have proven so popular that the sales staff receive emails from trade show delegates months after attending a particular event, requesting if they could be sent more hammers for their colleagues, children, nieces and nephews etc. According to Mr. Amour the stress hammers are a great conversation starter and everyone and anyone who works in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry can relate to stress.

"We have had a few politically correct people try to tell us that they are de-stress hammers but we are sticking with the majority opinion and therefore they will always be referred to as stress hammers." he explained. But what does a hammer have to do with hotel or serviced apartment accommodation? "Absolutely nothing," said Mr Amour, "and we think that is part of the attraction." In fact, Metro Hotels staff were getting asked so often what a hammer had to do with their business that they started to ask their clients the exact same question - and listed below are just some of the answers/ideas that they could safely publish:-

* Hammer out a deal at Metro Hotels
* Get hammered at Metro Hotels
* Metro Hotels - building relationships
* I nailed a great deal with Metro Hotels
 * Metro Hotels are hammering down prices

The only problem the sales team at Metro Hotels have now is ........... what do they come up with next? "The success of the Stress Hammers has been so huge that we are really scratching our heads to find something that will surpass the success of the Stress Hammers." Said Mr Amour.
