Charlottesville, Virginia (August 6, 2014) – Regatta Travel Solutions announced today that Visit Mesa has chosen Regatta Travel Solutions to power the booking engine on their official destination website, visitmesa.com. Regatta's dynamic, state-of-the-art technology allows visitors on the destination website to directly book hotels, attractions and packages. Mesa has also signed on for Regatta's unique group and sports housing system. Regatta will showcase the Visit Mesa logo in TripAdvisor's meta-search platform as a booking option next to the major OTAs, allowing hotels to receive bookings at a much lower cost through the DMO website.

"We have been hearing about Regatta for a while and they always seem to be ahead of the curve," said Kimberly Freer, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Visit Mesa. "They really seem to have anticipated where the DMO industry is going. We needed a better solution that would provide us with more flexibility and tracking and show a true return to our participating hotels. When we came across Regatta's solution it was a breath of fresh air."

"We have had a great deal of interest from DMOs for our new packaging solution slated to launch during Q4 of 2014," said Ashwin Kamlani, Founder of Regatta Travel Solutions. "It seems that the goals of Destination Marketing Organizations are very much in line with our current solution, and the new packaging system will open up tremendous possibilities for the Visit Mesa team to work more closely with the hotels and attractions in their destination."
