SynXis Enhances Ringhotels Recognition To Travelers Throughout The World - Web-based Reservation Technology Powers German Hotel Cooperative
26 November 2001

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 27 - SynXis Corporation announced today that they will be providing complete reservation management and electronic distribution services for Ringhotels, Germany's largest hotel co-operative, featuring about 150 medium-priced to upscale privately owned hotels. Ringhotels is an organization that helps its member hoteliers develop a worldwide profile and offers visitors from around the world a pre-screened selection of excellent hotels throughout Germany.

SynXis Agent( brings a full range of services that enhances Ringhotels' exposure to international travelers. From an easy-to-use central control center, each hotel has the ability to update room occupancy and rate change information immediately to four distinct distribution channels that are essential to any establishment's business strategy in these tight financial

times: travel agents, third-party Internet booking sites, individual hotel Web sites, and central reservation systems.

Through the organization's site, a comprehensive booking engine is available to each hotel, providing prospective guests with a more efficient way to research and reserve guest rooms. Promotion codes and group block codes can be entered through the booking engine for additional access to special rates and managing group activities.

The Internet is a vital distribution channel for increasing the visibility of these superior hotels. Popular Web sites such as Orbitz, Hotwire, and Placestostay.com will help each hotel gain entrance to global tourist markets. Travelers can also book a room the 'old-fashioned' way, by calling a central reservations office and speaking to a hotel representative who has access to the most recent rate and room information.

"Potential guests can already make reservations through the Ringhotels' Web site, and adding SynXis' technology will now streamline the process and make it easier for hotels to update room availability," said Elke Schade, Managing Director of the Ringhotels organization. "We provide member properties with many exceptional services, and these enhancements will bring added value to the relationship. Other hotels will see these advanced services and will be eager to join our program for greater international recognition."

"The Ringhotels organization strengthens SynXis' position in Germany and Europe, and prepares us for further worldwide expansion," said Elmer Coppoolse, Vice President Europe of SynXis Corporation. "Since our system was made available one year ago, we have had success in Ireland and The Netherlands, but Germany is an important market because of its strong economy and burgeoning travel market. The hospitality industry everywhere is facing tough financial times. Our system gives hotels of any size access to all electronic distribution channels to attract as many visitors as possible, quickly and cost-effectively and leaving them in total control."
