Millennium & Copthorne Hotels roll out new central reservation system

Promises enhanced customer experience.

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels plc (M&C) M&C, a member of Hong Leong Group Singapore with a global portfolio of over 100 hotels, has selected and installed WindsurferCRS as its new central reservation system (CRS) to handle the majority of the c.10 million room nights it offers to guests around the world each year.

Designed and operated by Denver-based Sceptre Hospitality Resources (SHR), WindsurferCRS will be the proprietary booking channel for M&C’s global portfolio of over 100 hotels.

“WindsurferCRS is one of the most advanced central reservation systems in the hospitality industry. Its successful implementation will allow M&C to achieve its strategic objective of increasing direct sales, while allowing for an integrated approach to distribution,” said Nayan Peshkar, Vice President Revenue Management & E-commerce Europe for M&C.

“Our customers can expect an elevated experience with the intuitive shopping cart approach of our new Internet Booking Engine, enabling them to find the best rates and offers available across M&C’s portfolio. This is the start of a significant improvement in customer experience and we are grateful to SHR for their support in ensuring a smooth migration to the new system.”

WindsurferCRS also benefits customers through its direct connection with Travelport, as well as many Online Travel Agencies including Travelocity, Expedia, Booking.com, Orbitz, TripConnect, Hotelscan, Jetsetter, Roomkey, GHX, and Agoda. Additional benefits for M&C include effective integration with the full suite of revenue and property management systems.

Windsurfer was launched in 2009 and is continuously updated by SHR, which specializes in customer-focused hospitality technology. The system reflects fast-moving trends in both the hospitality industry and in electronic communications, including mobile devices and is ideally suited to a multi-brand environment such as M&C. It provides a seamless, tailored interface with client websites and immense flexibility in accommodating an almost unlimited range of e-commerce initiatives.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
