Benefits

• GHX is free.
  Unlike expensive OTAs (online travel agencies), franchise brands, or other distribution/marketing channels, Global Hotel Exchange is free. We charge no merchant discounts, commissions, royalties or distribution fees of any kind to hotels.


• Global exposure at no cost.
  Your hotel will benefit from complete global exposure powered by our low cost yet highly effective search engine and social marketing. Each hotel will be featured in Google, Google Plus, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, along with a permanent marketing campaign that will be relentless and massive. Your hotel will receive equal exposure to any worldwide OTA (online travel agency) or franchise brand, and at no cost to you.


• You control your own rates and allocations.
  You will control your own rates and allocations through a password-protected extranet portal.


• Global Hotel Exchange collects no funds for the hotel.
  Global Hotel Exchange sends reservation data upon booking via email to the hotel with full details including a credit card verification to hold each room. Total room rate, taxes and other charges are all handled by you, the hotel.  GHX does not lock up the guest credit card with prepaid and inflexible policies, either.


• You own your customers.
  Once the booking is sent to your hotel, you own the customer. You will be able to set a cancelation policy in the Global Hotel Exchange system, and GHX urges you to be flexible and courteous in accommodating guest changes, it is the cheapest way to generate loyalty.
