Leading Hotels of the World joins Galileo's Best Available Rate Programme

Galileo's Best Available Rate (BAR) guarantee programme has added its 100th hotel brand. The latest addition is Leading Hotels of the World who join hotel chains including Accor, InterContinental, Choice, and Marriott.

The Galileo BAR programme enables major hotel chains to provide travel agents with access to the best available published, non-restricted rates offered through any other CRS, GDS or other online distribution channels. The addition of these latest hotel chains brings the total number of properties covered by the programme to over 28,000 properties, representing over 50% of hotel bookings made in the Galileo GDS so far this year.

“The reassurance of knowing that the hotel rate we see is the best available is a great benefit to us and our travellers,” said Gill Goodship, Head of Customer Servicing for Portman Travel and in charge of Portman’s expanding hotel operations. “It saves us time as we do not have to search through a number of different sources, and with the Galileo BAR programme, we know that we are in the best possible position to benefit from this initiative.”
