Leading global travel distributor GTA has signed a new partnership with hospitality management firm Compass Hospitality to offer 43 five-, four- and three-star hotels and spa resorts under four distinctive brands in South East Asia.

The hotels under the brands Compass, Citrus, Citin and Ananda Spa will be offered in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui, as well as Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Langkawi.

Tejinder Sidhu, vice president Sales & Marketing for Compass Hospitality said: “Compass Hospitality and GTA have had a long working partnership and with the signing of the new distribution agreement, it is going to further cement our relationship and grow our business not only of the existing hotels but also establish business for the several new properties we are opening in the coming months.”

Compass Hospitality benefits from GTA’s new Margin Agreement contract which gives hotels flexibility in pricing and yield management. Given the rapid pace of change in travel and hospitality, Margin Agreements are an increasingly attractive option for many of GTA’s partners, a statement said.

Martin Jones, GTA’s senior vice president for Global Sourcing and Commercial Management said: “GTA makes it easy for hoteliers like Compass Hospitality to successfully market and sell their rooms to even more consumers worldwide.”

“Our technology, privileged relationships and wealth of experience means travel businesses trust us to help them profit. As demand for fully independent travel (FIT) to and within Asia increases, travel sellers around the world will surely welcome this new partnership and our ever-expanding portfolio of hotels throughout Indonesia and beyond,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
