PlacesToStay, Alturabeds tie up

PlacesToStay is supplying inventory to online sun and sea accommodation specialist Alturabeds.com.
Initially, XML technology will first connect PlacesToStay’s European city hotel inventory to Alturabeds’ system, then make available its global stock of over 25,000 hotels.

Alturabeds, part of Spanish group, Optursa Group, provides online reservation services for nearly 3,000 hotels, apartments and villas throughout southern Spain, the Balearics and Canary Islands, and the Algarve. Accommodation in Florida will be offered on its web site which handles both consumer and travel trade customers.
 
The company provides additional services such as its ‘Resorthoppa’ airport transfer service and ‘Destination Services’. Sister companies include Hotels Globales, with over 40 holiday hotels, Air Madrid (providing low cost flights to South America), and Madrid-based Alada Tours, specialising in holidays and escorted tours in South America.

Alturabeds chief executive Paul Randall commented: “Alturabeds is growing fast, we offer hand-picked accommodation combined with excellent service levels, resulting in real value. By linking with PlacesToStay, we will enhance all those factors as we continue to drive our business forward.”

Tim Wright, Fexco AllTravel’s business development and distribution director said: “I’m delighted that PlacesToStay is to work with Alturabeds which has enjoyed great success to date. Competing effectively in today’s travel market demands more and better accommodation content, efficient Internet technology, and easy booking. By integrating PlacesToStay hotel content with its own inventory, Alturabeds will offer even more accommodation choice and value which I’m confident will lift our mutual bookings and revenue.”
