Kolkata, India, May 24, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Tree of Life Resort & Spa, a luxurious hotel brand in India has increased online revenue with eRevMax through streamlining distribution process and reaching out to luxury travellers through niche sales channels. The Jaipur based resort is using RateTiger to manage their rate and room inventory updates in real-time across online sales channels, and receive reservation data to their PMS; all from a single, integrated solution.

A popular destination amongst HNIs (High Net Individuals), Tree of Life is selling 14 villas across 16 sales channels. RateTiger helps hotels sell rooms from an allocated inventory across multiple channels simultaneously from a single platform, making online distribution complete automated and time saving. All reservations made on online travel sites are captured, and available inventory is automatically redistributed for the hotels to sell last-room availability thus eliminating the chance of overbooking.

The Luxury travel segment in India is growing by 20 -25% annually. Travel remains the first choice for around 43% of high net worth individuals (HNIS) in India, when it comes to lifestyle experiences. Tree of Life is leveraging eRevMax Channel Ecosystem’s superior connectivity with global OTAs as well as dedicated luxury sales channels to reach out to specific target groups and regions.

“We have seen an amazing growth year-on-year of revenue coming to us through Online Travel Agents. Keeping in mind that this is the future, it was imperative for us to gear ourselves for the continuous growth to come.
