•   What is Reputation Scorecard?
ReputReputation Scorecard is a new service for the hotel industry, which helps the hotels measure the reputation taking into account ratings from online reviews across over 100 different OTAs and review sites worldwide.

•   How does it compare to Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence?

TripAdvisor is the world’s largest travel site, enabling travelers to plan and have the perfect trip. It offers trusted advice from real travelers and a wide variety of travel choices. TripAdvisor branded sites make up the largest travel community in the world, with more than 200 million unique monthly visitors, and over 100 million reviews and opinions. The sites operate in 30 countries worldwide.
The Reputation Scorecards  available for a number of hotels in nearly 300 cities and destinations worldwide let hoteliers search by location or specific property name. Each hotel that is included has a scorecard that reveals its GRI score for the previous month, a benchmark of the average performance of hotels in the same city and within the same star category and the top-rated department and concept according to ReviewPro’s award-winning sentiment analysis. Besides the specific analysis for a given property, hoteliers can also discover the Top 10 rated hotels for each city and destination.
