Utell Offers Hot Summer Rates for U.S. and International Hotels; Room Rates Slashed by as Much as 66 Percent in Popular Destinations

6 June 2002

Utell has announced the rollout of its annual Great Rate Summer program. Hundreds of independent and small-chain properties are participating in Utell's promotion, providing travel agencies with a wide range of domestic and international hotel selections for business and leisure travelers during July and August. 

Discounts begin at 25%, and agents can reserve rooms for clients using simple Great Rate Summer (GRS) access codes in their native GDS. Utell is a subsidiary of Pegasus Solutions, Inc., (Nasdaq: PEGS).

According to Mark Wells, Utell's president and chief operating officer, "It appears that occupancy rates are gradually recovering, and the general public is reserving rooms if the price is enticing. Utell's unparalleled depth of properties, from exclusive resorts to economy hotels, offers summer travelers the right price in the right location."

A number of popular summer destinations, such as New York, Miami Beach, Paris and Sydney, are included in Great Rate Summer. Rates are available at participating properties from July 1st through September 3rd, and are valid seven days a week. All bookings require a minimum two-night stay, with no maximum stay restrictions.
