DALLAS (August 21, 2008)
—
Drury Hotels has renewed its
distribution contract with Pegasus Solutions through
2010. The St. Louis-based chain, which J.D. Power &
Associates has recognized for the third year in a
row as the “Highest in Guest Satisfaction among
Mid-scale Hotel Chains with Limited Service”, will
continue using Pegasus’ central reservation system
(CRS) for distribution to the four major global
distribution systems (GDS) and via alternative
distribution systems (ADS).
Drury, a Pegasus customer since 1999 with more than
120 hotels in 19 states, chose Pegasus to maintain
consistency of service, rates and availability for
travelers worldwide.
An additional consideration was the reliability of
the RezView CRS, according to Tim Unwin, Vice
President of Business Development, Reservation
Services for Pegasus.
“Pegasus is the only CRS provider that maintained
99.997 percent availability in 2007, a real
breakthrough relative to the rest of the industry,
and a number we aim to better in 2008,” said Unwin.
“If a growing hotel chain like Drury ignores the
risk of CRS downtime, whether it be as little as
.003 percent over a year or as much as what others
are offering in the industry, then they risk losing
valuable reservations.”
