Article selected : Galileo launches multi-currency rate distribution for hotels, 04.12.06

This text presents the new Galileo system : "multi-currency rate capabilities" which provides to the hotels using the Galileo GDS (Global Distribution System) the capacity to convert rates in a number of differents currencies.

My Opinion

I think that is a really relevant and interesting new system of reservation : it encorages the tourism in developing countries which have most of the time their own money. Furthermore, this system remind us that there are no just the US Dollar or Euro money in the world and the currency of a country can be part of its identity and its national heritage.
