evolution distribution Chooses Leonardo Technology to Enhance the Visual Presentation of Great Hotels of the World and evolution properties on Travel Websites
Leonardo Worldwide Corporation has been providing Great Hotels of the World and evolution (the pioneering distribution and reservation technology company for independent hotels and small to medium chains) with media distribution services for a number of years. Today, Leonardo has announced a renewed agreement with evolution to strengthen the way Great Hotels of the World and evolution properties are presented on thousands of travel websites.
evolution will utilize Leonardo’s VScape Digital Asset Management System to enhance the visual presentation of Great Hotels of the World and evolution properties, including 250 primarily independent hotels and resorts on thousands of third-party travel channels in Leonardo’s VNetwork, the most extensive travel website network in the global travel industry.
By choosing Leonardo’s technology, Great Hotels of the World and evolution properties can ensure travel shoppers have a consistent and compelling experience no matter which travel channel they’re using to shop and book accommodations online.
VScape Digital Asset Management System
VScape provides evolution with the ability to:
- Use a single tool to syndicate visual content to over 170 Direct Connect travel websites and their affiliates, in the VNetwork, including all four GDSs, major OTAs, non-OTA travel research sites as well as tens of thousands of forward distribution channels.
- Ensure accuracy and consistency of hotel photos by matching of photos to hotel listings, via an advanced automated matching algorithm.
- Upload images in any size and format, allowing the system to automatically re-size and re-format the image to meet the requirements of the different platforms and devices.
- Tailor image syndication for specific guest segments on corporate self-booking tools, leisure travel websites and specialty sites.
“We’re delighted to renew our agreement and ensure Great Hotels of the World and evolution properties are represented consistently across thousands of travel websites. By using our technology, evolution is able to enhance the travel shopping journey with compelling images of their properties on all the different websites travelers use to search for and book accommodations online,” says John McAuliffe, Leonardo’s President.
