Luxury hotel chain, Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts has joined Galileo’s Best Available Rate (BAR) programme, adding all Banyan Tree properties to the GDS’ BAR programme.

Listed on the Singapore Exchange, Banyan Tree Holdings is a leading manager and developer of premium resorts, hotels and spas in the Asia Pacific. The group currently manages and/or has ownership interests in 23 resorts and hotels, 61 spas, 62 retail galleries and two golf courses. Following the recent launch of its independent GDS chain code (BY) in September, Banyan Tree signed up to Galileo’s BAR programme to ensure that its lowest unrestricted public rates are made available in the Galileo system.

Banyan Tree joins other major hotel chains participating in the programme in the Asia Pacific including Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc.; Marco Polo Hotels; ANA Hotels International; Langham Hotels International; Sol Melia Hotels; Meritus Hotels & Resorts; Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts; Oberoi Hotels & Resorts; Raffles Hotels & Resorts; Mandarin Oriental Hotels Group; and Millennium & Copthorne.
