Hotelogix, the cloud based property management software pleasingly announces its new acquired Channel Partner, Goias Turismo in Brazil. Research released by David Scowsill, President & CEO, World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) at Fórum Panrotas, forecasts that the Brazilian Travel & Tourism economy increased by 7.8% this year. Seeing the accelerating market Hotelogix decided to invest strengthening regional as well as international tourism.
Goiás Turismo sales and internet manager, Igor Medonca elaborates some crucial points that will increase the Brazilian tourism revenue, in the year 2013 Fifa Confederation Cup, 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics Games. Mendonça chose the software for four pivotal reasons as it is easy to use and easy to adapt, low cost implementation, cloud-based solution and access to distribution tools (GDS, Channel Management and others.
Igor Mendonça explains why Hotelogix’s arrival at Brazilian mid-west is unexplainably important, due to a strong inbound market in this region quoting the same he says, “Brazilian mid-west has a high touristic potential. However, many cities with tons of attractive sightseeing places don’t have a clue of how they can reach the potential market. Also, companies have little awareness when it comes to technological tools for operations optimization and revenue enhancement that has to be focused on.”
Mendonça also emphasized on how Hotelogix solution is valuable for the Brazilian Hospitality Market. According to the Channel Partner, the system optimizes the main operations (such as Frontdesk, Housekeeping, POS, Reports and many others) and creates a higher online visibility through other services provided, such as Web-booking Engine, GDS and Channel Manager.
“Our expectations for this new challenge are high. Hotelogix provides the needed solutions for small and mid-sized properties. Therefore, these companies may achieve a better share of the tourism market. Hotel managers and owners have access to a PMS with as many skills and advantages as systems used by big properties or well-known chains,” adds he.
The company mainly focuses on tourism/hospitality management and consultancy. It helps the properties strategize operational needs and build strong business where hospitality industry is fast-tracking.
“An alliance with Goias Turismo is Hotelogix’s sure attempt to get a grip on Brazilian hospitality market which is in need of an end to end solution that delivers on all fronts. Hotelogix Cloud based PMS is functionally rich and offers superb distribution capabilities at a cost that is affordable by most hotels. Goias Turismo on the other hand has over 14 years of experience in the tourism sector, even has its own online platform for bookings, their reach in the segment is deep rooted. Now empowered with Hotelogix, both companies are set to take on Brazilian hospitality market with the effective suite of solutions - an absolute delight for a market that’s long been waiting for something as good,” says Vineet Mendiratta, Alliance Manager, Hotelogix.
