Derek Martin, the CEO of TrevPAR World, had the following to say; “This merger was a no-brainer for us. This would allow us to maximize our data driven strategies using a very specialized distribution approach, allowing us to maximize our overall ability to turn lookers into bookers. We can also reach consumers that we would never be able to reached. This will allow us to distribute the everyday hotel to thousands of travel agents that are normally only reached if the hotel forms part of a large brand. The positive impact this will have on the profitability of all hotels will be huge and it will be great to show increased returns to all our owners straight after this pandemic.”
Kirstin Pillay, the COO of IMS Africa, shares the same vision as Derek Martin and is passion driven to deliver the highest levels of specialized distribution and technology to the African Continent. “This alliance enables us to offer our clients a customized, multilayer, multifunctional revenue and distribution solution, as well as management which would be both cost effective as well as increase overall profits of the business, a win-win for all.”
The new vision 2020 and beyond is to focus on the recovery of the tourism sector. The combined knowledge in revenue management as well as specialized distribution will focus on the African continent offering multi-layered support solutions in distribution and revenue management solutions. All guided by a very specialized analytical data approach.
