New Clients Help Vantis Celebrate Its First Birthday

In Vantis’ headquarter region of North America, the company announced last May that the prestigious Historic Hotels of America (HHA), an organization of 210 elegant properties throughout the US, selected Vantis as their partner in optimizing profitable revenue. In addition to the HHA, Vantis has signed more than 360 hotels in the North American region in the past six months.

Vantis continued its strong presence in Latin America with the addition of more than 70 new properties during this period. Highlights include the signing of the Dazzler Tower in Argentina, the El Tropicano in Mexico, and the Gamboa Rainforest Hotel in Panama.

Across the Atlantic, in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (EMEA), more than 100 new clients chose Vantis to improve their bottom line. In Europe, the Knightsbridge Hotel in London and the Accento Hotel Leipzig in Germany are two of the latest hotels to appoint Vantis as their revenue management consultants. And in Turkey, Vantis is also pleased to announce the signing of the Barcelo Eresin Topkapi in Istanbul.

Vantis maintains a significant market share in the Asia Pacific region in announcing more than 40 new properties. Particularly pleased with its growth in Australia, Vantis noted the following prestigious clients from the region: Meriton Apartments in Sydney, The Oasis Resort in Cairns and Federal Hotels and Resorts in Tasmania."

Innovative new products and services generate even more growth
Kelly Blake, President and CEO of Vantis, noted that, “In our first year as Vantis, we continue to show excellent growth worldwide. We are pleased that so many clients continue to see Vantis as their valued partner helping them generate topline revenue.”

With the addition of more than 650 new hotel and car rental clients since January of this year, Vantis continues to be a leader in the industry. “Vantis is committed to optimizing profitable revenue for those properties who as Vantis clients are able to select from a suite of full service revenue management, GDS, reservation sales and voice center services geared specifically for independent operators and chains,” continued Blake, “It is also apparent that the company is experiencing steady growth in the number of product and services that our current clients are requesting.”

Since January of this year, Vantis has helped hundreds of clients improve their proprietary websites with a range of website solutions, from full site design and hosting to search engine marketing, designed to increase direct consumer bookings. Maclab Hotels and Resorts (www.maclabhotels.com) recently took full advantage of this effective selling tool, resulting in an appealing and engaging website that attracts customers and encourages bookings.

Vantis is also excited about this past year’s launch of Viz-it, a full suite of rich media solutions. Cambridge Suites Hotel Toronto (www.cambridgesuitestoronto.com) unveiled their premium video tour package—a full-feature video that provides the property’s sales team an emotionally-engaging promotional tool for their website, marketing campaigns and comes complete with unparalleled distribution to third-party travel websites.

Vantis also kept on the leading edge of technology with an innovative online program to promote Revenue Management Professional Services (RMPS). In conjunction with Buckhiester Management USA Inc., Vantis offered hundreds of hospitality-professionals enhanced education on both strategy and tactics in hotel revenue management through a series of unique online seminars. The success of this program will see further sessions offered in the upcoming year.

“Though good to reflect on the past, Vantis is also looking to the future,” said Blake. “With more than 25 years in business, we are grateful for the thousands of hotels who have looked to us for revenue solutions. And now, under our new name for the first year, it’s affirming to see continued growth of new clients who also validate our efforts through their choice of Vantis as their partner in optimizing profitable revenue.”
