Problem -The Internet has been used by travelers since 1996 to locate, review, and contact a prospective property. We call this e-mail processing! The On-line leisure market has grown from $31 million in revenues then, to $6.8 Billion in 1999, and the trend continues. To-day, travelers want to do more. They want to be able to check availability, review unit amenities, and make their reservations, without having to wait for email responses to their requests. In Whistler, the traditional Central Reservation System, has partnered with an out-of-town service, to "sell" Whistler nightly accommodation's. This partnership provides distribution sales for many Condo Managers, BnB's, Hotels, and Private Owners. Previously, accommodation suppliers, could rely on at least two distribution partners to "sell" their unit availability. Some businesses, utilize even more distribution partners. All distribution partners charge a 10 - 17% commission for each sale. Are your revenue's benefiting from these new distibution partnerships? Solution -Imagine controlling your own distribution sales, by adding "Real-Time", On-Line e-Reservations, to your web site, for considerably less commission. Imagine building a stronger Search Engine and Web Site marketing and promotion process, from the revenue's you save, by adding "Real-Time" Reservations to your web site. About Resorts SystemsIt was 1978 and Digital Equipment Corp. had just launched the VAX minicomputer with 4.3 GB of storage, Wang Labs introduced the 5¼” floppy disk drive to the market and Texas Instruments launched the first electronic duplication of the human voice in a microchip when it introduced the “Speak & Spell” learning aid for children. It was also the year Resort Systems Inc. (RSI) was founded in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and went in to business developing leading edge software solutions for the hotel and resort industry. By the early 80’s, Resort Systems was well on its way to becoming a world leader in the Hotel Property Management Software market with the launch of HotelSoft. The years to follow saw many great advances in the HotelSoft product and eventually the product was changed from its Super DOS platform to the more robust UNIX platform and dubbed HotelSoft Classic. The 90’s saw Resort Systems moving gradually in to Windows based products and eventually HotelSoft & InnQuick for Windows was developed. With the demand of more advanced features, secure products and higher technology being pressed on software companies around the world, the need for Resort Systems to evolve was apparent. Industry began looking at better and more efficient ways to harness technology and conduct business. One highly touted method of deploying and implementing software was through an Application Service Provider or “ASP”. Industry analysts and standards organizations like the Gartner Group, IDC and GIGA all responded to ASP’s in a positive manner due to the incredible positive effect it had on an organizations Information Technology Total Cost of Ownership. By the late 90’s, Resort Systems was designing and developing all of its products, other than HotelSoft Classic as ASP delivered products. At the turn of the century, Resort Systems became a publicly listed company (TSX-V: LLX) and began to aggressively expand to further develop its new product lines. Today, after nearly 25 years in business and having installed its products in to hundreds of properties around the world, Resort Systems continues to provide world-class industry leading products and services. The Resort Systems primary product line today consists of a full line of ASP, Windows based, software solutions for just about any kind of property and accommodation management application.

How the ASP system works:The system is ASP-based meaning that all of the applications are accessed, using high-speed Internet connection connected to the RSI hosted servers, located at a "server-farm". e-reservations can be accepted and processed, while the property is NOT connected. What is needed for connectivity:At the property: - We run an "application client" at the property. All of the processing is done on the hosted site. Depending the requirements, there are a number of application-layers that can be "linked" to provide a complete system being sold to either an individual property or a hotel chain. These layers are:
Connectivity from outside of the "fixed points" of connected PC's can be achieved by plugging a lap-top into any comm.-line and signing on, using the client that has been loaded onto the laptop. This enables the company's roving management teams to connect to the applications from anywhere at any time. At the head-office: Environment:
