Trust International Launches Trust Voyager 2.0
As one of the most advanced Web-based reservation systems available on the market, TRUST Voyager 2.0 offers major enhancements that provide clients with additional strategic advantages over competitors. These enhancements include a flexible rate order display that varies by season and channel, a shopping list, an enhanced group module, and a host of new hotel monitoring reports. In addition, TRUST Voyager now also supports an open travel alliance (OTA) compliant XML interface to Micros Fidelio and other Property Management Systems (PMS), as well as merchant model rates through Internet Distribution networks.
"TRUST Voyager's successful launch in 2002 provided a strong platform from which to launch the new version, as promised, for release the beginning of April," said Michael W. McCormick, senior vice president, Hospitality & Leisure Services, Cendant Travel Distribution Services and president, TRUST International, THOR, Inc. and WizCom International. "Unlike our competitors, who have only been promising to implement enhancements, TRUST has delivered. We've been listening to our customers needs and have developed comprehensive features designed to provide a strategic advantage and allow our clients to keep one-step ahead of the changing marketplace."
