Criteria to choose a 3rd party site

Group work: Navine Chhuon and Olga Smuniova http://smuniova.blogspot.com/

For a luxurious hotel we would choose (for example Le Murano) http://www.travel-selection.fr/ Because:

• There are 6 languages available
• Micro site of the Splendia site http://www.splendia.com/pagefiltre.php?searchlist_id=253&critereSearch=Country&arrivee=&depart=
• They propose luxurious service
• Good image for our hotel
• Prices are updated daily by the hotels we work with. We benefit from rates aligned with those of their competitors
• Easy to reach because they appear on the first page of "hotels Paris" on Google
• Good presentation of the website
• Many hotels of our range

Kempinski to manage luxury trains

http://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/154000320/4030774.html

This article deals with the cooperation with the Kempinski group and the Tangula luxury train company. It reveals that this train company will totally be under the management of the Kempinski group which is a luxurious German hotel chain.

It is a very good strategy for this train company to be managed by a luxurious hotel group to gain notoriety and give good quality of services. It can be a good asset to this train company to compete with the famous Orient Express train which does not offer these journeys.
