HOUSTON, TX, March 23, 2015- SHR, an innovative provider of advanced distribution technology and services for the hospitality industry, today announced that the Kennebunkport Resort Collection has migrated their portfolio of eight luxury and boutique hotels to the WindsurferCRS distribution platform. The Kennebunkport properties will also utilize TopSail™, SHR’s responsive booking engine, to better showcase all that their hotels have to offer.
“We are excited to begin this partnership with the Kennebunkport Resort Collection and are confident that the experience offered by WindsurferCRS and TopSail™ will prove beneficial not only for staff at the properties, but for their guests as well,” says Drew Rosser, VP of Sales & Marketing for SHR.
Each of Kennebunkport’s eight properties is unique in style, design, and location, and the goal is to showcase their unique attributes in the booking engine. In addition to providing a booking engine for each individual property, Kennebunkport wanted the ability for guests to book any property through their corporate website. With the flexibility and chain functionality of WindsurferCRS and TopSail™, guests can easily book at any Kennebunkport hotel on the corporate website. The collection will also be utilizing many direct connections through WindsurferCRS to better manage rates and inventory on primary OTA sites such as Booking.com.
“We are excited to work with the WindsurferCRS team and product. Their innovative approach toward managing distribution channels and excellent customer service make them an ideal partner for our collection of properties,” says Debbie Lennon, Operating Partner for the Kennebunkport Resort Collection.
