THE APARTMENT SERVICE EXHIBITS AGAIN AT THE BUSINESS TRAVEL SHOW

PRESS RELEASE

THE APARTMENT SERVICE

EXHIBITING AT THE BUSINESS TRAVEL SHOW (10-12 FEBRUARY 2009)

AT

EARLS COURT EXHIBITION CENTRE LONDON

The Apartment Service (TAS), the largest European booking agent for serviced apartments worldwide for stays from one night, is once again exhibiting, on stand number 233, at the Business Travel Show, the most important show in the business travel calendar in the UK. As long established professionals in this sector, TAS is keen to engage with the corporate buyer in looking at the role serviced apartments may play in their accommodation programmes and to discuss the exciting new developments happening in the sector and within the company. TAS is also keen to interact with the Travel Management Companies (TMC) as to where serviced apartments may provide a new opportunity for client cost savings and how they can integrate with TMC systems and processes, most specifically the online opportunities TAS´s new web services will shortly offer.

TAS will be showcasing some of the exciting new functionality already on their website (www.apartmentservice.com ), which has been completely redesigned, to reflect the changing way business is being conducted and to be prepared for the future of serviced apartment accommodation bookings.

Most specifically, TAS will be discussing the live availability search and booking services currently undergoing final testing and to be launched shortly, which is a key feature long demanded by the TMC world. TAS will also demonstrate their new property management system, which will allow property vendors worldwide to manage their rates, information and online availability at the click of a button. This will also include Google Geo codes, for precise apartment locations anywhere in the world, using only simple data entry.

Also of major interest is The TAS affiliate program, which allows other websites and portals to offer our full global inventory of serviced apartments as a one-stop-shop integrated into their current systems.

TAS is proud to be at the show and keen to network with key industry professionals at what is a challenging and exciting time for the travel industry, but particularly in the serviced apartment sector.
