Radisson Hotels & Resorts has tied up with Mobile Travel Technologies to unveil a mobile service for guests in India, the UK and Australia. The service will enable travellers to respond to hotel promotions via a mobile device as well as make reservations and view existing bookings, hotel information and directions.
According to a report in Travolution, Frank Trampert, Executive Vice President, Revenue Generation - Asia Pacific, Carlson Hotels Worldwide, said, “Mobile devices will develop as a booking channel especially in response to promotions.”
Radisson Mobile uses Mobile Travel Technologies’ hotel platform m2bed, which provides integrated SMS messaging and mobile web access. The Radisson.mobi site will be integrated with Radisson’s existing systems and can be viewed via a PC.
Mobile Travel Technologies unveiled a similar deal with Hilton Hotels in July 2009, enabling guests to make bookings and access hotel information via mobile devices including iPhones. |
