Cultuzz Hotel Partner 10-2009

Dear Customers, Partners, and Colleagues,

"Endspurt" is the German word for "final sprint". Why does “Endpurt” come to mind? Because now is the time to catch up!

In a month’s time, the World Travel Market (WTM) will be taking place, where Cultuzz will be presenting new highlights like:  the Cultuzz solution for direct connection with all four GDS and Pegasus.

In less than 100 days, the year 2009 will give way to the year 2010 - meaning now is the time to make sure that this year ends on a positive note by selling Christmas specials, New Years specials and regular vouchers - which are ideal Christmas gifts – to fill your hotel and accounting books.

The WTM, Christmas/New Years auctioning, GDS connectivity, eBay advertising, twitter – this months newsletter goes from one end of the spectrum to another.

Enjoy the reading and when your interest is kindled, feel free to contact your sales manager and/or drop us a line at: marketing@cultuzz.com. We are more than happy to assist you in your ecommerce endeavours.

Best regards,


Ted Montreal
Director of Sales & Marketing

  Your Christmas and New Year Offers

The past years have shown that during this current season the most often searched words in internet and on eBay are: “Christmas” and “New Years”.

Take advantage of this attention and place auctions today with a special holiday scheme. The products may vary and the choice is yours. How about a travel voucher for  a romantic Christmas dinner with one or two nights stay over; or , a one nights stay after a fantastic New Year’s Gala. Even standard accommodation vouchers are high in demand, since they are ideal holiday gifts.

You wish to market your hotel and offer hotel vouchers for the Christmas holidays, a New Year's gala or a simple night’s accommodation in our attractive and individual theme templates.

Or, you wish general information about how selling travel vouchers on eBay works.

Then contact your contact person at Cultuzz today or send us an email to marketing@cultuzz.com.

  eBay is advertising

Click on the link below and experience how eBay is actively advertising for you and your auctions.
This action is an initiative of eBay, which indicates how important the sale of travel products on its platform has become.
This means that hotels which participate on the CultBay platform have literally access to thousands of eBay members. It is obvious that these hotels will benefit directly from this specific action.
When other companies are investing thousands of dollars in advertising to reach such a large potential customer base, you will be benefiting from this effective and inexpensive service which will not cost you an extra cent.

  CultSwitch connected to GDS

CultSwitch – the renowned channel management system from Cultuzz Digital Media GmbH – is now connected directly to all four global distribution systems (GDS) and Pegasus:

• Amadeus

•  Sabre

•  Worldspan

• Galileo (GDS); as well as, the

• Pegasus Online Distribution Database (ODD).

Thus, Cultuzz offers its hotel customers the opportunity to be bookable through all travel agencies worldwide, as well as, on thousands of partner Web sites.

This direct connection will enable the hotel to transfer their data directly to the GDS and Pegasus from their hotel software (PMS) or any other system that is connected to CultSwitch. All relevant distribution data - such as, room availability, rates and surcharges, cancellation and payment conditions, room descriptions and pictures – can be transmitted from the PMS of the hotel via CultSwitch.

CultSwitch transmitts the data in a full automatic process or enables the manual updating of pictures. Bookings generated by the travel agency will automatically be registered by the PMS of the hotel.
