Press Release: Webvertising
November 1, 2001
HOUSTON, TX -- The Web is moving as fast as ever and Mayan Resorts (Mexico) is moving just as fast! By choosing
Webvertising, Inc. (Houston, TX) to develop a real-time Web reservations system to interface with its ground CRS,
Mayan Resorts has placed itself among the few in the vacation ownership industry to make this strategic move. International
guests will be able to book and pay on their accounts from the Web and have the transactions automatically reflected
on the Mayan Resorts existing CRS. This opens up a new and efficient channel of communication between Mayan Resorts
and its clientele of over 50,000 worldwide.
This is a very progressive move on the part of Mayan Resorts. Mayan Resorts has chosen to be an industry leader!
Many within the industry recognize the necessity to have a direct interface between the Web and their ground PMS/CRS,
but few take action. " This project is another unique web application created according to the specific needs
of the client", says Luz Zuleta, Director of Latin America Operations for Webvertising. "Over the years
we have strived to be a leader in forward thinking, innovative technology and our goal is to provide turn key solutions
to our hospitality industry clients"
Mayan Resorts did not make this decision blindly. Their choice was made after serious review of the companies that
could provide this cutting edge technology. The decision to go with Webvertising, was based on " their extensive
industry knowledge and their experience with Internet application development..." says Fabio Cassese, CIO
for Mayan Resorts. He added that, "it is very reassuring to know that we are working with a company that has
made their distinctive mark in both the Hospitality and Technology industries." Mayan Resorts expects completion
and launch of their new interface on January 1, 2002.
