Aqua-Aston Hospitality signs with Ice Portal to distribute visual content worldwide

Aqua-Aston Hospitality, a hotel and condo resort management company with more than 40 properties across five distinct brands, has partnered with ICE Portal to manage, distribute and curate online visual content for all properties worldwide.

Aqua-Aston Hospitality is a destination expert with properties in key leisure markets including Hawaii, the continental U.S. and Costa Rica. Earlier this year the brand launched a new, highly mobile-responsive website, designed to deliver a digital vacation planning experience. Visual content, proprietary algorithms and expert information now help travelers curate individualized trip itineraries based on their travel preferences.

Aqua-Aston Hospitality will integrate their visuals into ICE Portal’s cloud-based content management system (CMS). ICE Portal connects to thousands of leading global distribution channels as well as thousands of affiliated travel sites (including DHISCO, GDSs, OTAs, and search sites) in twelve languages.

 “We are thrilled to be working with Aqua-Aston Hospitality providing the technical solutions to manage and deliver their visual content everywhere,” said Henry Woodman, president of ICE Portal.

ICE Portal will work with Aqua-Aston Hospitality to optimize visuals (category, languages, meta-data, geo-codes and mapped IDs) to increase both engagement and booking conversions.

“In an era where social and digital platforms are setting the bar for dynamic, visually driven content, we need to ensure the Aqua-Aston Hospitality vacation booking experience remains dynamic and relevant,” said James Karebelas, vice president of marketing, Aqua-Aston Hospitality. “Partnering with ICE equips us with superior technology to enhance our visual online presence and showcase our portfolio of properties in a compelling way.”
