Hotel Booking Solutions Incorporated Chief Executive Lawrence Hall to Address Demand Management Strategies at Travel Distribution Summit

Leading travel distribution professionals from around the world convene each year at the Summit to discover new strategies and technologies that enable them to improve their approach to travel distribution and in turn their company’s financial performance. Larry’s session is titled “The Emerging Discipline of Demand Management: Convergence of Revenue and Channel Management.” He will address the numerous challenges and complexities that inhibit a hotel company from realizing their desired multi-channel distribution strategies, and will outline tactics and solutions to overcome these obstacles.

Topics will include:

• Consistently apply revenue management across all distribution channels
• Forecasting demand for improved product merchandising
• Guidelines to maintain price integrity in online channels
• Comprehensive Demand Management as a basis for improved financial performance
• Strategies to overcome barriers to efficient product distribution in a complex environment
