Key hoteliers gathered at Google's New York location on Thursday for Pegasus Solutions'

World of Distribution Event. On the heels of IHMRS, representatives from Pegasus, Google and key Manhattan hotel companies discussed the industry's current and developing distribution needs.

"Google Hummingbird, Google Carousel and TripAdvisor's TripConnect are a few of the

recent introductions that are changing the world of distribution for hotels," said Chris Wichers, chief sales officer of Pegasus Solutions. "Consumer behavior is evolving. Hoteliers, faced with the day-to-day challenges of managing a hotel, are struggling to stay abreast – not only in understanding but also in leveraging new opportunities. By addressing the realities of today's marketplace with experts involved at every point of the distribution equation, we can help steer the best way to market and sell more hotel rooms."

Pegasus' The World of Distribution campaign has enlightened hoteliers worldwide on the

distribution landscape. The World of Distribution series of summits launched in Paris in September. Additionally, Pegasus' World of Distribution explanatory videos on www.pegs.com illustrate the basics of a sound distribution strategy, walking hotels through understanding and joining The World of Distribution.
