HBSi Signs Latin America’s Leading Hotel Operator: Grupo Posadas
 HBSi, an IBS Group company, has added Grupo Posadas to its network of hotel companies that use HBSi's channel management and connectivity solution. Based in Mexico City, Grupo Posadas is the largest Latin American hotelier with 110 hotels including Live Aqua, Fiesta Americana Grand, Caesar Park and Caesar Business brands.
Posadas will use HBSi's iDemand Gateway™, a solution that entirely automates the connections between hotel inventory systems and distribution outlets, such as Web sites, tour operators and other wholesalers. This fully automated process also eliminates manual entry of faxed or emailed reservations from these distributors, improving accuracy and reducing costs.
"Located in Latin America's most sought-after destinations, our properties are favored by travelers from around the world; therefore, it is important for Posadas to be available through many Web sites and distributors," said Guillermo Fernández, Commercial Director for Posadas. "Now with HBSi, we have simplified our connectivity while simultaneously expanding it even further to HBSi's demand partners," Fernández added.
"With an expansive portfolio that spans across Latin America, Posadas is a significant expansion for HBSi in that market," said HBSi COO Greg Berman. "Additionally, by connecting to Grupo Posadas' AltiusPAR reservation system, HBSi now can implement our solution for other AltiusPAR users quickly and efficiently."
