Other Reservations Services Sample Clauses
The "Other Reservations Services" clause defines the scope and terms under which additional reservation-related services, beyond the primary agreement, may be provided. This clause typically outlines what types of supplementary services are available, such as booking for ancillary products, special requests, or third-party arrangements, and may specify any associated fees or conditions. Its core function is to clarify the availability and terms of extra reservation services, ensuring both parties understand what is included and how such services are managed, thereby preventing misunderstandings and disputes.
Other Reservations Services. In addition to the central reservations center currently located in Omaha, Nebraska, other global distribution systems (principally airline reservations systems) accept reservations for Hyatt Hotels and confirm the reservations with Hyatt through Hyatt’s central reservations center. In addition, Pegasus Systems, Inc., a publicly traded company (in which Hyatt currently owns less than 1% of the outstanding common shares) provides connections to the airline reservations systems, internet related reservations services and consolidated travel agent commission payment processing services for which hotels using such services pay on a per transaction basis at rates set by the service provider.
Other Reservations Services. In addition to the central reservations center, the costs of which are allocated to each Participating Hotel as part of the Centralized Services Costs (defined below), global distribution systems (principally airline reservations systems such as Sabre, Apollo, and Worldspan) accept reservations for Participating Hotels and confirm the reservations with the Hyatt Group through the central reservations center. These supplemental reservations systems charge the Hyatt Group a reservations fee or similar charge, currently averaging approximately $5.25 per reservation, which the Hyatt Group passes on to the hotel receiving the reservation at cost without ▇▇▇▇-up or profit to the Hyatt Group. The Hyatt Group enters into agreements with third parties to process reservations centrally for individuals within group blocks, either electronically or via phone. Such reservations would ordinarily be directed to each individual Participating Hotel to process manually. The electronic costs are either paid by the hotel directly or passed through to the hotel without markup. When these reservations are confirmed over the phone through the central reservations office, a fee of approximately $5.25 per reservation is charged to the hotel.
