NTDMS NATIONAL TOURISM DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Most Organic Model for Enhancing National Tourism Via Electronic Commerce
NTDMS is an innovative model for Nations to greatly enhance travel distribution for direct bookings between the traveler and tourism related businesses via the Internet. Our model promotes the lowest margin of commission for reservations, making it the most cost efficient and economical for tourism related businesses and travelers. Via our NTDMS, all sizes of tourism related businesses ranging from large corporate chains to small or medium-sized tourism businesses including auto rentals and activities, enables them with the most innovative distribution technologies including e-Marketing, empowering over 60% of the country’s tourism businesses through enhancing their visibility worldwide.
Advanced GDS Representation
NTDMS increases any Nations reservations distribution through our innovative technologies connecting a majority of the Hotels with the GDS’s, including Sabre, Worldspan, Galileo and Amadeus. These connections greatly enhances the visibility of all Hotels to more than 170,000 Travel Agencies worldwide, as well as promoting tourism related businesses to more than 1000 Internet travel portals like Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, Hotwire, etc.
Advanced Deterrence of Industry Intermediaries
NTDMS empowers small, medium and large tourism related businesses, incorporating them into the most advanced travel industry technologies including an innovative website and booking engine that aids in promoting its own brand, creating one of the most important elements of distribution that promotes greater control; significantly reducing dependence on costly IDS’s who deprive Hotels of a large portion of their earnings. This is the most cost efficient and organic model for any tourism business today.
First Year Success in Utilizing the NTDMS Model
Statistics show that in many Nations, only a very small percentage (10%) of tourism related businesses have the technology to promote and distribute reservations at the level of the NTDMS. Our system incorporates similar distribution systems that for years, only the large Hotel chains were able to benefit due to the high cost, our NTDMS allows small, medium and the large Hotels including small and medium rental car agencies and all types of activity companies the ability to compete with the large chains and franchises at a fraction or the cost. Within the first year that the Government begins to support these important National Tourism technology upgrades, the NTDMS will demonstrate its own success within the first year.
Advanced Software Solutions for Increasing Industry Revenue Streams
NTDMS incorporates a new set of strategies and software that promote revenue increases in tourism related businesses from 10 to 15% and as much as 30%, through heightened Web and GDS presence and an Advanced Management System of rates and availability that enables transparent unification of all inventory and all rates of all reservations, no matter how the reservation is made, via their own website, the GDS or IDS’s, all are connected to one single source inventory regulating rates and inventory for every distribution channel using our Automated Rate Manager. This enables these businesses to offer real-time inventory allowing them to sell down to the last room at the best rate.
Increase in National Visibility
To fully promote the visibility of tourism related businesses is an element not yet exploited by many countries that now having available such a solution as our NTDMS, develops a new means to promote greater visibility and increased tourism nationwide instead of just the top destinations of that country. This is reflected in how countries are investing hundreds of millions promoting their respective country to the world, creating interest among Travel Agencies and Travelers who mostly rely on Travel Agents (GDS) and Internet sites to plan their travel. The greatest revelation/opportunity is that only a small percentage of most Nations tourism related businesses utilize GDS and Internet distribution technologies with approximately 90% of the rest of the industry finding themselves invisible in these important distribution channels that prevents their visibility and competitiveness as an option to Travelers and Agencies other than the large chain Hotels and large auto rental franchises. Today, a Nations tourism promotion budget is best maximized by incorporating our NTDMS which better serves to include the majority of travel related businesses (60%) instead of only the 10% that presently have these technologies, breaking this paradigm that has left behind the majority of these travel related businesses and lesser traveled destinations.
Massive Nationwide Visibility Due to Multiple Destination Reservation Portals
NTDMS upgrades any Nation to include the unification of Destination Promotion and Reservation Portals that via our unique technologies creates an important infrastructural network that maximizes the countries national and global presence via the Internet. Each destination/state receives its own promotion and reservation portal including detailed rich content of the destination utilizing transparent technology consistent in structure and form to all other destinations, thus creating a congruent image, producing greater confidence for all travelers. Transparent linking with all of the other same destination portals, the NTDMS generates greater impact and presence in marketing and positioning within the Internet search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc.
Increase in Gross Domestic Income (GDI)
On the basis of comparison, using Mexico as an example with the goal of upgrading approximately 60% of the countries Hotels representing approximately 8000 Hotels of a total of 14,000, including other tourist related business has the capacity to increase the GDP by more than $1Billion U.S. dollars. Maximizing a Nations GDI and upgrading the majority of tourism related businesses is only a part of the goal. Fostering a true technological evolution, that provides not only innovative technology to better increase revenue, but also a fair and competitive playing field nationally for thousands of businesses, while increasing knowledge through vital technological training of the tourism workforce becomes an additional valuable asset to each Nation.
