Bonsaï Hotels is also equipped with Optims PMS solutions.

Christophe Rouillaux, sales Managing Director of Bonsaï Hotels explained: “We wanted to sale our rooms on GDS for long but the registration cost was too high for economic hotels. Now, Otedis can provide us with distribution on the biggest GDS worldwide at an accessible price pour one to two stars hotels. Moreover this distribution channel is perfectly integrated with Otedis’solution we already use. It allows us to still manage our properties’ availabilities from a single planning, whatever the distribution channel is.”

“This signature is important”, added Pierre Matuchet, Managing director of Otedis. “It shows the economic hospitality entry on GDS. The partnership between Optims and Amadeus, allows us to open GDS channel to these hotel categories. There is a strong demand for that type of properties and the growth should be exponential. Otherwise, we are delighted that Bonsaï Hotels renews its confidence in Otedis. It is a pledge of quality, reliability and satisfaction of our customers.”
