TRAVEL management companies and travel agents will find it easier to book apartments by The Ascott Limited from December 1, when its private GDS chain code 'AZ' kicks in across four major GDSs – Amadeus, Sabre, Worldspan and Galileo.
This makes CapitaLand's wholly-owned serviced residence business unit the first global serviced residence company to have its own GDS chain code.
The dedicated code provides immediate access to over 20,000 apartment units in Ascott's international network spanning more than 160 properties in Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Gulf region.
Chief corporate officer Tony Soh said: “Our new ‘AZ’ code will make it more efficient for bookers at travel management companies and travel agents to access rates and availability of our properties.” |
