India’s Fortune Hotels has moved its entire portfolio over to Pegasus Solutions.
The deal, which involved renewing 11 properties, adding 19 and switching seven, means the hotels are bookable through the UI code on Pegasus Connect+.
Vijay Jaiswal head of sales & marketing for Fortune Hotels said: “After carefully reviewing our options in the market, it made sense for us to centralise the global sales and marketing of our full portfolio by allocating the additional 26 properties to Pegasus,”
“The flexibility, platforms and pricing Pegasus has delivered fit easily with both our operational style and ongoing expansion goals for Fortune Hotels. Partnering with Pegasus Solutions has enabled us to launch 19 of the properties onto the global distribution systems (GDS) for the first time, increasing their worldwide exposure across the electronic distribution channels exponentially.”
Fortune’s increase in India has been put down to the fact that it has filled a void in the Indian market of a first class, full service business hotel with brands across the country. Only 15% of Indian mid-priced hotels are within an affiliated chain – Fortune has bucked the trend.
“We’ve styled Pegasus Connect+ to deliver the same kinds of solutions, sales and marketing support that Fortune Hotels offers its properties in the Indian market,” said Rachel Grier, senior vice president, Asia & the Middle East for Pegasus Solutions. “We’re honoured to have more than tripled the number of Fortune properties that we’ll be generating business for on a global level. This agreement is a testament to the success of our long-term relationship with the team at Fortune.”
