Manage your leisure bookings with tour operators and DMCs
with a single solution
How does Tour Manager work?
It starts with one net rate entered into the CentralREZ SynXIS CRS, which Tour Manager then distributes to thousands of bookers.
Tour operator connectivity software streamlines hotel distribution directly to tour operators and destination management companies (DMCs).
Within the HotelREZ ecosystem, this is delivered through Tour Manager. The rate enables hotels to distribute net rates directly, retain full visibility of bookings and protect rate integrity through automated, compliant connectivity.
It is integrated with your existing CRS and PMS infrastructure. As a result, availability, rates and reservations are synchronised in real time across all connected partners.
In addition, Tour Manager by HotelREZ acts as merchant of record, securing every transaction and issuing automated virtual credit cards with each confirmed booking.
