HotelPlanner to Receive Visual Content from ICE Portal
Hollywood, FL (PRWEB) June 27, 2017 -- HotelPlanner, the leading online provider of group and individual travel services, will begin receiving content from top visual content curator and distributor, ICE Portal. This fully automated connection will now allow travel suppliers using ICE Portal’s content management system to deliver their photos, videos and 360-degree virtual tours to HotelPlanner.com.
Listed among the top 50 travel sites in the world and ranked number one in group travel, HotelPlanner is on track to produce nearly 1 million group leads this year, and is providing group hotel booking services to over 3,000 groups per day. The company’s robust technology and automated rate checkers provide customers with the guaranteed lowest available rates from a network of more than 100,000 quality hotel partners worldwide. By licensing its technology, HotelPlanner also provides corporate, government and hotel partners customized solutions designed to advance their group booking business and increase revenue.
ICE Portal’s visual content management system (CMS) is a cloud-based platform where hotels and resorts are able to manage and distribute their high-resolution visuals. Over 40,000 hotels worldwide use the CMS to deliver their content to travelers via thousands of distribution channels connected to ICE (OTAs, GDSs, search and social sites.)
This partnership will extend distribution for hotels connected to ICE Portal and add value to HotelPlanner’s service. Those browsing hotel rooms on the site will be provided with optimized images that have the potential to increase booking conversion. Brands integrated will see increased group and individual bookings now that HotelPlanner has access to their complete image libraries.
"HotelPlanner is thrilled to partner with industry leader ICE to enhance the visual experience for both our customers and hotel partners. Our state-of-the-art technology and user-friendly interface makes converting easy. One out of every five groups that interact with us online contracts for rooms, and we expect this number to grow as we make it easier for our users to access quality content through ICE,” said John Prince, Co-Founder and CIO of HotelPlanner and Meetings.com.
“We at ICE Portal look forward to seeing improved conversion for our hotel partners on HotelPlanner due to the addition of high quality images from our CMS,” said ICE Portal President, Henry Woodman. “Since visuals are crucial when booking travel, we believe that HotelPlanner will benefit tremendously and see an increase in bookings on their platform.”
