Tour operator & wholesaler reservations through Pegasus
Pegasus Solutions, Inc. today announced Marriott and Sol Melia as new customers for its PegsTour service, which enables automated hotel reservations by tour operators and other wholesale travel distributors. Many Pegasus hotel chain customers, including Marriott and Sol Meliá, have signed agreements to participate, and new wholesale customers have been added.
Pegasus previously announced the PegsTour participation of Hilton International, Kimpton Hotels, Le Meridien Hotels and Thistle Hotels.
Javier Silvestre, vice president of distribution for Sol Meliá, said: “The automation of those reservations will also help us to manage and develop our tour business.”
The PegsTour service enables reservations between hotels and wholesalers to be automated, including the typical contracted allocations as well as “request bookings” between the parties. PegsTour serves tour operators by automating key booking processes through an electronic interface that connects them to hotel central reservation systems, achieving connectivity between disparate hotel and operator technologies.
PegsTour offers real-time electronic delivery of hotel reservations, including modifications and cancellations, to a hotel’s central reservation system and property management system. For hotel chains, use of the PegsTour service offers improved management of their tour/wholesale business, and improved service to guests through confirmed reservations and accurate guest information.
“The global leisure travel purchasing options are changing for the consumers and wholesaler product offerings must be expanded to meet these new needs,” said David Marriott, senior vice president of global and field sales for Marriott International.
