French term or phrase: STS
This is in an agreement for a hotel to be part of an international hotel chain network, benefitting from being represented on the brand website. Bookings can be made using a specific reservation system.

This abbreviation is used in an appendix about payment of distribution fees. It looks like a price of some sort.

XXXX is the specific payment system used for bookings. It's in a table which I can't reporuce exactly but you get the idea.

Marques % chiffre d’affaires hébergement
(STS-155 HT) % par rev. direct XXX (*) % par rev. indirect XXX (*)

0,20% des Recettes Brutes Chambres (STS-155 HT) plafonné à 12 000 € / an
0,15 % des Recettes Brutes Chambres (STS-155 HT) plafonné à 5 000 € / an


Any help gratefully received as always!

Thanks

Student Travel Schools


Explanation:
Would it be possible that the hotel accommodates students on language travel trips?

This could be a special price for such clients.

Have a look at this context, "hébergement avec STS": http://www.sts-education.com/france/ils/destinations/grande_...

Site (de) Suisse Tourisme


Explanation:
If the text refers to Switzerland, where I live, the STS means "Swiss Tourism Site" and the "HT" would refer to "Halb-Tax," as many of us carry a card here (that toursists can purchase) that means a 50 percent reduction on trains, trams, boats, and tourist attrations. Not sure if this helps ... but it IS what pops to mind. If you follow the link I've insertedbelow, you will see (on the far right of you screen) another list of links, including "ST" for Suisse Tourisme. The "STS" would mean (web) Site of Suisse Tourisme ... also known as www.myswitzerland.com. THIS is the English language portal to just about everything en Suisse.
