e-HotelRates.com has developed a product to address the problems facing the housing needs of the hospitality industry. No longer do you need to lose control over your inventory by selling rooms to on-line discount merchants; meeting planners now have the tools and information to learn more about their meeting. One of e-HotelRates.com’s unique features is that it allows planners to track where attendees are staying, whether within the group, or outside of the block, minimizing attrition. We deliver to planners stronger data for future planning and a better understanding of value for their overall business to a hotel or city. You retain control over your inventory and will substantially increase your revenues by breaking the stronghold on-line merchants have gained through the popularity of internet booking.

e-HotelRates.com is the first full-service Online Reservation System which allows the hotelier, the meeting planners, the designated housing company, or bureau to work together in an integrated system to fill the contracted room blocks. e-HotelRates.com will manage the room blocks and sub-groups on-line in conjunction with, or without, the designated housing company, whichever the meeting planner chooses. All reservations are processed real-time and the hotel has access to real-time reports 24/7.

The tremendous response of meeting planners to the introduction of this product is due to the fact that e-HotelRates.com will provide them with information previously unavailable to them, additional marketing for their meetings, the cost savings to their attendees, and for the simple fact that this product makes their jobs much easier for them. It also offers their attendees a one-stop-shop for their meeting information and room booking.

As a hotelier, you have two options available to join in this industry-revolutionizing program:

Option One is the most basic option and brings the meeting planners and attendees directly to you. This allows you to participate in a contracted room block for the sleeping rooms contracted by the meeting planner with your hotel. Meeting attendees will not have access to any other restricted or transient inventory. Rates that you may offer on the internet will not be included. Click on Option One to learn more!

Option Two, includes all of the benefits outlined in Option One as well as allowing you, the hotelier, several other opportunities to capture the attendees reservation.

In Option 2, you have the choice to place inventory in up to four (4) difference levels.

• contracted block;
• restricted or secondary rooms;
• rooms posted on the e-HotelRates.com internet site; and
• in any of the global internet websites.

Some of the highlights of this system are:

• The ability for you and the meeting planner to track where attendees are staying, whether in or outside of the block
• The transaction-based model reduces your costs, creating better efficiency in your systems, and the ability to offer more competitive rates.
• Total inventory and rate control
• Real-time transfer of reservation information to your hotel.
• Allows unlimited real-time flexible reports to be generated.
• A one-stop-shop for attendees for their meeting info, book housing, and to compare rates against other internet offerings.
• Sub-block management systems that are flexible and the ability to track activity.
• End user control.
• Planners have access to more data than ever before.
• The ability for you to “fence?inventory.
• A fully integrated email marketing function.
• Flexibility for you to enter up to 10 different room types.

e-HotelRates.com is a transaction based, non- merchant system rather than the typical merchant models which command a high commission percentage. This radically different business model actually reduces the costs of booking a hotel room while increasing profitability to your hotel. This new business model allows you to offer more competitive rates and bring more $$ to your bottom line! We are already based on the hotel standard XML 2002 AOTA allowing a seamless integration into your current system.
