The deals were announced today alongside a distribution deal with Pegasus Solutions for access to 1,000 of the 4,000 hotels that are a member of its Utell by Pegasus hotel reservations service.
The announcements follow similar deals with signed with various hotel suppliers in recent weeks including Sol Melia Resorts and Hotels, Swiss Quality Hotels, Le Meridien, Rezidor SAS Hospitality and K&K Hotels.
CNG allows these hotels to access their own inventory in real-time, giving the hoteliers direct control over rates and availability. The system is then accessed by travel agents who search and book content and receive commissions.
CNG founder and chief executive Finbar Power said: “More hotel brands are joining our distribution programme because they have faith in the integrity and robustness of our private rate business model.”
