Guestline are growing their presence north of the border to support Scottish hoteliers who are experiencing an increase in tourism across the country. According to new figures released from Accountants BDO, Scotland's hospitality sector outperformed the rest of the UK last year with Aberdeen boasting the highest hotel revenue outside of London. Across Scotland hotel revenue increased by 11%. With tourism on the up, Guestline, who supply a range of property management and distribution solutions to the hospitality industry, have expanded the team with new recruit Lisa Davies. Lisa will be joining David Hunter as a Regional Account Executive to advise independent hotels and serviced apartments across Scotland on the best technology solutions to suit their business needs. Lisa, from Edinburgh, is also a business partner and manager of a small hotel in the Scottish Borders, taking it from a position of low room sales and poor rates to improved, profitable levels of occupancy and revenue. Having run her own business for almost 9 years, Lisa has a substantial understanding of the hospitality industry and hotel operations (including using Guestline's Rezlynx PMS) and has been duly recognised at the Scottish Hotel Awards and in the Good Hotel Guide and the Michelin Guide. Guestline's solutions cater for all sized properties from independent hotels and serviced apartments to large corporate properties and universities in order to implement a streamlined solution to increase occupancy, revenue and productivity. A growing number of hotels in Scotland are managing the upturn in occupancy with Guestline's property management system, Rezlynx. Recent installs at the Best Western Woodlands Hotel and Best Western Invercarse Hotel both situated in Dundee, have benefitted hugely from Guestline's Two-Way interface to the Best Western CRS. Joanne Preece, Business Change Manager at Best Western Hotels GB commented "Best Western GB has noticed significant revenue uplift and an increase in the room nights booked at our properties that have installed the Guestline Two-Way PMS Interface. The successful on-going collaboration with this vendor ensures that Guestline remains the most popular PMS choice amongst our members. Members are delighted, not only with the PMS and Interface, but the exceptional level of service they receive from Guestline from installation to support." The Tontine Hotel, a 36 bedroom hotel located in the Scottish Borders has seen increased efficiency and improved business operations since implementing Rezlynx. Kate Innes, Owner, Tontine Hotel said "Since installing Guestline's systems we have experienced much greater direct customer engagement for enquiries and direct bookings on our website. This has resulted in an increase in our own commission-free internet bookings which has significantly improved our operating performance. The software has increased our revenue and is so innovative with its constant upgrades and development. Guestline is an expert in technology and hospitality – it is of paramount importance to have an IT provider who has both". Peter Walker, General Manager at Meldrum House Country Hotel and Golf Course Scottish hoteliers are invited to meet with Lisa and David who are on hand to offer demonstrations of the Guestline solutions across Scotland.
