The internet booking system used on Hotelplan Italia's Secrets Line brand website was the first stage of a working agreement of great magnitude between Dylog Italia and Hotelplan - a Zurich-based multinational operating in the tourist sector. The agreement centred on the supply of technologies and IT services for its online booking system as well as on the promotion of tourist resources. Hotelplan’s choice also fell on Dylog technology because it wanted to ensure greater visibility for its Secrets Line website, which contains more than two hundred hotels and resorts de charme. The accommodation listed on Hotelplan’s portal are the elite members of the hotel industry from all five continents. As such, users from around the world can now employ its safer, quicker and more streamlined booking system. At the moment and given the current slowdown in demand, alliances between forward-looking tourist operators and companies offering advanced technologies are the key to conquering new markets and achieving increased efficiency.

Set Mobile from Bucharest has also begun distributing Dylog solutions. Over the past few months, the international credit crunch has forced a large number of Romanian tourist operators to turn to new technologies in order to boost their efficiency. Set Mobile and Dylog Italia underwent a complex preparatory phase before the launch of distribution so that a complete transfer of know-how - indispensable to providing adequate service and security levels – was ensured.

Dylog SAM is a Dylog Italia partner company operating in Francophone markets. It has recently completed Dylog Algerie and CSI Africa’s technical-commercial training. These two companies will be responsible for distribution as well as for providing Dylog customer care services for hotels and restaurants in Algeria and Morocco.

Furthermore, Dylog is currently finalising a contract for the distribution of its suite of tourist applications by Emircom. The Emircom Group was established in 1984 and is considered to be one of the top 18 groups of the Middle East, with over 350 staff members on its books. Emircom lists some of the most important companies in the telecommunications, banking, oil & gas and hotel sectors in the Middle East among its clients. Furthermore, the discussions entered into between Dylog and Optima during TOSM are also very promising. The Russian group was established in 1990 and, today, has a staff of approximately 2000. It operates in an array of ICT sectors, such as consulting, software development, system integration and outsourcing.
