Travel Funders Network to Partner with IBS Software as it Targets Expansion in Las Vegas
Atlanta, 31 March 2022: Travel Funders Network (TFN), the distribution platform founded by online hotel industry veterans Bob Diener and David Litman, has partnered with IBS Software primarily to expand TFN’s network of resorts and casinos in Las Vegas. TFN has signed a multi-year deal to use IBS Software’s iHospitality Gateway distribution solution, giving TFN real-time access to its established distribution network of hotels and resorts in Las Vegas.
Working with IBS Software gives TFN the ability to connect to premium properties that are already part of the iHospitality Network – including the likes of Circus Circus, Treasure Island and many more. TFN then empowers participating hotels to effectively and efficiently manage customer demand – guaranteeing volume and allowing them to set their own rates and access a wide array of public and private distribution channels.
As well as helping TFN significantly expand its network in Las Vegas, iHospitality Gateway also provides access to premium partner hotels and resorts in destinations such as the Caribbean and Mexico.
“I have worked closely with IBS Software for many years and I know first-hand the power of their partner network and the team’s expertise in the market. Working with their extensive network of properties means our customers have instant access to a greater pool of high-end hotels and resorts, and we can support the properties themselves to maximise revenue and fuel their recovery as leisure travel bounces back. We’re excited to tap into that network and grow our footprint in Las Vegas and beyond,” said David Litman, CEO of Travel Funders Network.
“TFN is a trailblazer in the hospitality industry, led by two visionaries in David Litman and Bob Diener who are completely committed to powering recovery in the travel sector. They share our vision for how effective online distribution can transform the fortunes of hotels when they most need it,” said Christman Korah, Head of Hospitality Solutions at IBS Software. “We’re proud that TFN recognises the strength of our network and technology platform, and we look forward to a long partnership as they continue to disrupt the market.”
