Duxton Hotel Teams Up with GenaRes Asia

HO CHI MINH CITY, 19 July 2007 – The Duxton Saigon, one of Ho Chi Minh City’s finest boutique hotels, has chosen GenaRes as its CRS provider as it seeks to maximise its online presence.

The hotel, currently undergoing refurbishment, wanted to reach out to as many GDSs and online booking engines as possible, and decided that GenaRes was the best solution for their needs.

Adam Riley, the Duxton’s General Manager, said that access to local support was a key factor in their choice. “TRG International, Genares Asia’s local partner, are based in Ho Chi Minh City which makes it easier for us to get support services with a short response time” he told us. “Being Vietnam-based, TRG have a much better understanding of local and national market developments and know how to react swiftly to the changes transforming the market.”

Adam was also full of praise for the implementation, training, support and ongoing advice provided by TRG International’s experienced GenaRes team. “They are very efficient and effective in handling our needs and responding promptly to requests” he said. “They constantly advise us on how to tap potential GDS channels, which is a big plus factor and really makes GenaRes different from other CRS providers.”

“In short, TRG International and GenaRes offer the Duxton Hotel Saigon exactly what it needs from a CRS supplier.”

“We are delighted that the Duxton Saigon, one of the city’s best-known boutique hotels, has chosen GenaRes as their CRS solution” said Tim Russell, TRG International’s Marketing Director. “The hotel’s ongoing refurbishment has cemented its place as one of Saigon’s finest, and a world-class hotel needs a world-class CRS solution! I am sure that they will see huge benefits from exploiting GenaRes’ connections to all the main GDSs, giving them access to thousands of online booking engines and over 600,000 worldwide travel agents.”

Tim added that GenaRes is Vietnam’s fastest-growing hotel CRS, with over 40 of the country’s leading hotels currently seeing the benefits of GenaRes’ global reach and industry expertise.
