“The hospitality industry in Sri Lanka is rapidly growing and hotels across market segments are searching for robust hospitality software that can help them optimize on their manpower, serve guests faster and of course increase revenue.

Today, guests are moving ‘online’ and using the internet to locate holiday destinations, book tickets, reserve hotels and plan their vacation to the minutest detail. The hospitality industry needs to leverage this trend, if they are to attract an increasing number of guests and fill rooms. Mr. Shetty’s presentation will help attendees recognize the many benefits of technology.

FortuneNEXT6i is also built to empower users to harness the many benefits of GDS, OTA’s and their own web booking engine and thus has a powerful built-in two way interface with these distribution platforms. Also incorporated into FortuneNEXT6i is IDS NEXT’s recently launched mobility solution. Envy Dine, our e-menu application for restaurants is visually rich, has in-built intelligence and is intuitive to use.
