Luxury Tanzanian hotel improves online business performance with eRevMax

The property has been using RateTiger product suite, including RTConnect for channel management, Google Hotel Ads, metasearch management, Booking Engine as well as Reputation Management tool, all centrally managed from the RateTiger platform.
Located on the famous Mbezi Beach, the 146-room property is a popular resort catering to MICE, leisure and corporate travelers. The revenue management team has been aiming to expand their distribution portfolio and improve online connectivity when they decided to switch to RateTiger earlier this year. They have been leveraging eRevMax’s channel ecosystem which offers almost 400 global and regional OTAs, metasearch and GDS channel options to choose from. The seamless connectivity assists the property to expand to new markets through regional channels and increase brand exposure.
