HBSi's iDemand Gateway, an integrated channel management and connectivity solution, entirely automates the connection between hotel inventory systems and distribution channels regardless of business model, connectivity type or geography. Leveraging the flexibility of the iDemand Gateway, Kerzner can improve its revenue and reduce its distribution costs by quickly and efficiently increasing its distribution reach, while eliminating manual processing altogether.

"As we work to increase revenues and streamline operations, the HBSi Demand Partner network enables Kerzner to offer our distribution partners fully automated connectivity", said Ken Gifford, vice president of revenue management and distribution. "The HBSi connection is the perfect way for Kerzner to extend and improve our distribution reach," Gifford added.

"Working with Kerzner International reinforces our commitment to building and offering an important and relevant network for our partners, as well as ensuring the future growth of HBSi in key markets beyond U.S. borders," said HBSi COO Greg Berman. "It's an honor to improve distribution for a company with a reputation for quality and prestige such as Kerzner International."
