Clarity -Total Hospitality Solutions and its Phoenix brand of integrated hospitality property management software has joined the Tourism Exchange – delivering important benefits for all Phoenix users while further boosting the Exchange’s member base.

Traditionally operated by accommodation providers with 30 plus rooms, Phoenix is used by around 100 New Zealand properties, with additional users in the United Kingdom and Pacific Islands.

Clarity-Total Hospitality Solutions (THS) General Manager Brent Smith says the integration with Tourism Exchange gives all properties using Phoenix software real business advantages, including being able to provide live inventory information and booking confirmation in real time.

“The unique nature of Tourism Exchange means our users can now be exposed to increased business opportunities – via the extensive network of global distributors.  And as the Tourism Exchange continues to grow, so too does the opportunity for increased business,” says Brent.

Operating since 1992, Brent says his company continues to look at value-add business offerings for its users, many of whom have been using the software for between five and 10 years.

“We are already integrated with a number of channel managers – integrating with Tourism Exchange now allows us to complete our internet offering and range of value-add services.”

Tourism Exchange CEO Chris Hunter says he’s pleased to welcome THS and users of Phoenix software to the Exchange.
“Phoenix software is built around the principles of efficiency, reliability, simplicity and powerful functionality.  By integrating with Tourism Exchange, THS has recognised the business benefits that the Exchange delivers for its customers – and most importantly the increased transaction potential,” says Chris.
The integration of THS into the Tourism Exchange follows a series of successful acquisitions for the online central marketplace, which has recently celebrated its first year in operation.

“Partnerships like this with THS, and others we’ve announced in the last few months, are enabling excellent growth.  This is great news for the entire Tourism Exchange community – ultimately bringing more parties to the online market place.”
