A substantial number of hotels in Italy and Spain elected to use the Unirez by Pegasus service to reach travel agents and Internet bookers. Forty Italian hotels started the
service this year, with an additional 28 hotels in Spain signing onto the service in the first three months of 2005.
“In the first quarter of 2005, the number of room
nights booked via Utell by Pegasus increased by 33 percent,” said Philippe Bourgeois, manager of the Hotel Aviatic in Paris. “We’ve also received more
guests from Latin America and Spain as a result of Pegasus marketing the Hotel Aviatic to bookers via its Sao Paolo and Madrid voice offices.” The K and K Cayré Hotel, another Utell
by Pegasus member in Paris, registered a 52 percent increase in revenue in the first quarter.
The Unirez by Pegasus service gives on-site hotel staff easy tools through which they can manage room rates and promotions. The Unirez service provides for real-time
rates that are automatically distributed to the four major GDSs (Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre and Worldspan) and hundreds of online booking sites.
