Free LeisureLink 2-Way GDS Interface (Free)

2-19-2016 RDP has established a preferred partner relationship with
LeisureLink to provide a free two-way interface to the Global Distribution
System (GDS) and On-line Travel Agents (OTA's). Other GDS interfaces from
RDP cost $100/month for installation, support, and updates. The
RDP-LeisureLink interface can work with both "Room Type" distribution partners
such as Expedia and "Unit Number" distribution partners such as Home Away, VRBO,
etc. The interface works as follows:
- Rates and Availability are automatically sent from RDP to LeisureLink,
who passes this on to all their Distribution
Partners (both GDS and OTA's)
- Reservations made with any GDS or OTA
Distribution Partner are automatically sent to LeisureLink and then on
to RDP. The reservation ends up in the RDP system without any manual
entry by the RDP customer.
- If a reservation is changed or canceled by the guest on any GDS or OTA
channel, the change or cancelation flows to LeisureLink and the RDP system.
Again, no manual entry required by the RDP customer
- If you sell out of a given room type or room number the RDP interface
immediately notifies LeisureLink, who then passes this information on to all
Distribution Partners.
