oom rates and hotel policies should be loaded in
RezView for your hotel to be
bookable on your branded booking engine, www.BookRooms
Now.com and numerous other
Internet reservation websites.
We would also like to remind
you that we can provide training on
how to use RVNG. All rate changes,
room inventory changes, close outs,
and so forth must be done by HI,
and not by Pegasus (except holidays,
weekends and after hours).
Room Rates do not roll over
from year to year; therefore, you
must submit your room rates before
the end of the year so that Hospitality International’s Marketing Department can insert your room rates in
BookRoomsNow (RezView) for
2015.
Special Note: With the impending
increase in GDS reservations, now is
the time to discuss other reservation
resources that do not cost you additional fees. Remember there is no
additional cost for voice reservations
or reservations made on your booking engine . . .
This is also a good time to update your information, such as increased tax percentages, professional
photos of property improvements
and upgraded guestrooms, and general information that may have
changed recently.

In-room Tent Cards Replacing
Hotel Reference Directory
The trend among hotel chains and even individual hotels is to go paperless; thus the trend of digital
collateral materials such as hotel directories have
evolved over the past five or more years, and as a
consequence, printed hotel directories are no longer
available. Consumers can print out information
needed, including individual hotel listings, maps and
directions, etc. from the hotel’s reservation booking
site.
Hospitality International has therefore decided to discontinue its ‘printed’ Hotel Reference Directory and will furnish Tent Cards to be placed in
the guest room for quick reference on how a guest
might get information about a Red Carpet Inn,
Scottish Inns, Master Hosts Inns, Downtowner
Inns or Passport Inn. The Tent Cards have been
shipped to Hospitality International’s franchises. Please ensure you have placed a tent
card in all of your guest rooms. Need more?
