Hong Kong based BestHotelOnline.com, online travel agencies in Asia, has completed a two-way interface with eRevMax to offer automated channel management and reservation delivery to its growing base of customers. Accommodation providers using eRevMax distribution solutions including RateTiger and Connect Live platform will now be able to make real-time ARI (Availability, Rates and Inventory) updates and receive bookings generated on this channel through eRevMax solutions directly into their property management systems.

In addition, connecting with the eRevMax Hotel Ecosystem will give us the opportunity to explore new supply partners and improve our global inventory supply.”
