Hotelzon Renews Distribution Contract with Pegasus Solutions

London-based Hotelzon has renewed its distribution agreement with Pegasus Solutions for four years after realizing a +26% increase in reservations for 2010 via Pegasus’ UltraDirect interface.

An online corporate hotel booking company, Hotelzon serves corporate clients, hotels and agency partners, offering live rate and availability information via Pegasus’ UltraDirect.

With UltraDirect, Pegasus provides Hotelzon customers like Statesman Travel Limited, Chelsea Travel Management and Kaleva Travel Group direct connections to hotel central reservation systems (CRSs) around the world, providing real-time access to updated rates and inventory for tens of thousands of hotels.

“We’ve grown in partnership with Pegasus, leveraging its UltraDirect and UltraSwitch interfaces to serve our corporate clients, hotels and agency partners,” said Jani Kaskinen, CEO of Hotelzon. “With Pegasus as a transactional intermediary, we saw growth in net reservations of +26% in 2010, and expect to double that growth in 2011 leveraging the company’s distribution technology that enables fast, immediate confirmation of booking and cancellation requests, and secure access to negotiated rates.”

In addition to using Pegasus’ UltraDirect, Hotelzon continues to provide Pegasus’ UltraSwitch to 45 independent Scandinavian hotels.
