Dubai, UAE – 1 May 2012 – Swiss-Belhotel International, which operates 37 hotels and resorts throughout Asia and the Middle East, has chosen ReviewPro to monitor and manage its online reputation.

“User-generated content is a sounding board for the quality of our service and facilities,” said Mr. Yann Fruchart, Senior Director of E-commerce at Swiss-Belhotel International. “In that respect, social media is immensely important because it directly impacts the bottom line of our hotels, both financially and in terms of reputation. It is one of Swiss-Belhotel International’s most important online activities.”
As part of the comprehensive product selection process, Swiss-Belhotel examined all reputation management services on the market based on product functionality and how well that functionality would help the organisation reach its business goals.
