SiteMinder partners with The Luxe Nomad to strengthen presence in world’s fastest growing travel region

BANGKOK, THAILAND – SiteMinder is pleased to announce its latest integration partnership with Asia Pacific-based luxury hotel booking website The Luxe Nomad to further strengthen its presence in the world’s fastest growing travel region.

TheLuxeNomad.com has connected with SiteMinder’s RDX platform, which offers a rapid two-way, real-time XML connection between leading booking channels, property management systems and central reservation systems worldwide.

Stephanie Chai, Founder and CEO of TheLuxeNomad.com, says the decision to partner with SiteMinder was a necessary one for the company’s future growth.

“Connecting to SiteMinder was without a doubt an integral part of our growth strategy as we sought to double our number of hotel partners. SiteMinder’s enterprise connectivity platform has enabled us to easily sign up new hotels, which ensures we remain competitive and attractive to travellers,” says Ms Chai.

Since its launch in July 2012, TheLuxeNomad.com’s collection has grown to over 400 listed properties and features hotels that can be booked via the website’s unique, members-only flash sales and 24/7 promotional rates. With RDX’s pooled inventory offering, the integration partnership means TheLuxeNomad.com and its members can now benefit from greater choice and live availability of rooms. The leading RDX platform powers more than 60 channel management solutions – including SiteMinder’s Channel Manager – and led the company’s robust product suite in facilitating more than 18 million reservations for hotels worldwide over the 12 months ending 30 June 2014.

For SiteMinder, the partnership is the latest move to strengthen the company’s presence in the Asia Pacific. The global online distribution technology provider took up residence in Bangkok’s Lake Rajada office complex in May to further establish its physical presence within the region.

“This partnership with TheLuxeNomad.com signifies SiteMinder’s recognition of the importance of the luxury space. Business in the Asia Pacific, in particular, is booming and we need to continue to grow with it,” says Kevin Tatem, Director of Sales – Asia at SiteMinder.
