It is my opinions that understanding the power of Internet reservations; you’re hotels brand Image; having an incremental Hotel Web Site; having access to Internet Travel Portals, and The Travel Agent Global Distribution System may well change the successful future and profitability of your Hotel. Even Hyatt Hotels ® last year announced that over 50% of there room night revenue came from Internet and GDS reservations. With this in mind please call me day or night if I can answer any questions concerning electronic or internet generation of room nights for you’re hotel. I can be reached @ 847-274-1011.

My Name is David W. Larsen, I am responsible for HMS Corporation, and Hotel Reservations R Us.com business development. We are a Reservation provider with a one point of access portal for Internet and Travel Agent reservations.  We provide for our hotels travel portal interfacing with thousands of Travel Sites. My hotel membership company also provides to our affiliated hotels branded and or independent call centers that provide bookings for our hotels with 800 numbers that can advertised. HMS also optimizes your hotel Booking Engine and Web Site to up to 2000 search engines and Travel Sites every week. Our efforts to help maximize online reservations and hotel direct bookings are a service we allow our affiliated hotels that utilize our preferred GDS providers.

Our GDS services are provided based on a percentage of production. The cost of doing business with us can be enveloped into your room rate and there is no commissions charged for no-shows.

These   programs can reduce employee turnover or cost, and are an even more compelling reason to do business with HMS Corporation.

We also assist you in overseeing your online database and guestroom Inventories. Our services allow you expert consulting to help your hotel to maximize GDS Yield and Internet Revenue Management at no additional cost.

Then about 660,00 Travel Agents or Agencies, and Internet Travel Portals like; Orbitz ®; Travelocity ®; Expedia ® and Lodging.com ® can start  making or booking World Wide Reservations usually about 10 days business days after your entry into our system.
Our hotels are all part of an affiliation program and the companies' name is Hospitality Membership Systems. Our affiliate Hotels are known as Independents, Meridian contemporary Resorts, CareFree Inn, Ambiance Hotel & Resorts, SandCastle Inns, Sunburst Resorts and ValUStay Motels ; all of which operate under a Chain Code that Travel Agents know us as otels_Reservations_R_Us.com ® ReservHotel ® or Genares ® Systems. Sample hotels for you to view might be www.resortmesa.com or www.meridianpalmsorlando.com . Having a Chain code is important, because Travel Agents assume as an affiliated hotel, that when they book a room at your hotel there is a third party administrator which over sees commission payments, which by the way is true! Quite frankly Travel Agents or Travel Portal Web Sites may have a higher competency level or a better feeling that when there guest show up, there going to get paid! This can be why Franchise Hotels have enjoyed more Travel Portal and GDS Bookings for years edging out independents for room nights. By affiliating with our chain code and or one of our national brands this should give your hotel the same psychological benefits and advantages of a franchise hotel. Theoretically this in its self should produce more room nights. We ask your hotel to reconcile and pay your travel agent commissions on or before the tenth of each month to help create a positive reputation. HMS will also monitor and respond to Travel Agent disputes for your hotel at no additional cost.

HMS provides optional Marketing Services which can bring your hotel market dominance and internet visibility. After all what good is your web site if nobody sees it?  We can tailor a plan to get preferred placement on the top pages of 200 Internet Search Engines. Indexing and placement for your Hotel that will capture revenue streams with-out third party fees. To put a hotel on the map our in-house Agency HMS recommends a monthly paid inclusion and membership budget. The budget is normally often set at $10, dollars, per month, per rentable unit in your facility.  In-example if your Hotel has 15 rooms, your budget would be 15units’ times Ten dollars equals $150.00 or 40 rooms’ times’ Ten dollars would allow a budget of $400.00 monthly. So if your cost would be $400 dollars, at an average booking of $119 dollars it takes 3-4 booked room nights to breakeven. For this fee we also optimize your Web Site to an extraordinary amount of worldwide search engines including; Yahoo, Google, Alta Vista, Lycos, Ask... assist you in meta tag creation, provide a real time confirmation Booking Engine for your web site, recommend web site Improvements and can also target any exclusive or nitch markets you find suitable. Web Site creation, graphics, art, logos and band-with storage is available for nominal fees. As you can see we have a lot of options! After you see how effective our marketing works, we can even increase the budget to help with driving revenues. The normal course of action is that we set a monthly budget and keep it at that level for a year. It is what we do today that will affect occupancies in 90 days from now, so it’s important to be consistent. That’s why we budget and advertise even in the off season for a seasonal property.
  
We can provide Travel Agent Marketing through our in-house agency. With our buying power we can market our hotels at very reasonable cost. One of our current programs allows HMS to market 137,000 travel agencies through a one week Banner Advertisement. The Banner ad provides a $1000 value giveaway to the agents which get our hotels immediate response. Then we also email blast your campaign to 57,000 travel agencies. The program guarantees our hotels 30,000 views or impressions. If your web site has the capacity to set up a travel agent view page you can ask the agents to opt-in and harvest there email accounts directly for future monthly on-property mailings, for example birthday greetings and special events. There is an incremental fee for this campaign. These get to know us campaigns can be conducted quarterly or just once for your Grand Opening. An Email Blast can be provided at will for all 57,000 travel agencies that have opted in the current data base also for our member hotels.
 
Consumers buy Brand Names and we can Brand or Co-Brand your resort or hotel with our sister hotel and resorts. This may take either co-signage or total re-imaging. A membership license agreement is however required to use our Brand Names. For Brand Membership we require a initial fee which I am happy to negotiate with you. The agreement which includes licensing the affiliating hotel is initially set for a twenty year term. HMS does not normally require a punch list as all our hotels are unique. We do require inspections for quality assurance and guest service standards from time to time. Customer satisfaction is monitored electronically from your guest online reports via a contact us page on your web site. Our service and facility standards follow AAA Standards. HMS also will conduct property courtesy inspections. All our agreements have annual outs which require 90 days notice only.
