FRANKFURT – Pegasus Solutions has introduced Pegasus Connect+, a global hotel revenue solution that combines Pegasus" powerful distribution, booking and business intelligence with demand marketing services. The solution is being demonstrated at ITB at Pegasus" stand in hall 8.1/111.

"One consistent theme I"ve heard from independent hotels, hotel groups, and chains alike is that they all need help driving guest room demand and sales," said David Millili, chief executive officer of Pegasus Solutions. "Aligning our impressive range of hospitality solutions as logical tiered packages under Pegasus Connect+ benefits hotels, allowing them to identify and use only the services they need without being expected to keep track of an encyclopedia of sales solutions."

Pegasus Connect+ is being offered at three levels. Pegasus Connect+ delivers affordable connectivity to the global distribution systems (GDS). Pegasus Connect+ Gold combines this foundational distribution with connection to TravelSky in China and more than a thousand online channels. It also includes PegasusView Market Performance business intelligence, a new monthly reporting product augmenting global data provided quarterly in The Pegasus View. At this level, hotels will also tap into the OpenView booking engine, a customized tool to engage guests on the hotel"s website, as well as sales consulting and improved access to and representation with the travel consortia. Finally, Pegasus Connect+ Premium builds on Pegasus Connect+ Gold with the addition of a mobile site developed using Open Hospitality"s OpenFlex with responsive design, along with additional sales support targeting three sources of demand business from corporate buyers or Travel Management Companies (TMC).

"Pegasus Connect+ allows hotels to simply make a property available on the GDS and through online channels at an affordable price if that is all that is needed, or to upgrade to another level to create new ways to drive business," added Millili. "This extends from identifying sales opportunities in the local market and making the brand website work harder, to delivering access to corporate buyers around the world to fill the gaps in the sales channel."

Pegasus currently provides connectivity to nearly 100,000 hotels globally, and maintains unique preferred relationships with major travel management companies like American Express and Carlson Wagonlit Travel.
