Hoteliers are realizing that online distribution is the cheapest distribution channel and is already changing the "classic" distribution spectrum. Hilton estimates that a Web booking is 5 times cheaper than a typical GDS/travel agency booking and $5 cheaper than a call center booking (PhoCusWright). Internet-based reservations will triple to 15.4% by 2004 from the current 5.4 percent (Andersen). Online hotel sales will exceed $5.3 billion by end of 2002 (PhoCusWright). Five years from now there will be more Internet hotel sales than GDS hotel sales.

There has never been a better time to embrace the Internet and eDistribution in particular. Whether you are an independent or branded hotel, a major hotel chain or hotel management company, you can stay ahead of your competitors and capture new market share with an effective eMarketing and eDistribution strategy, which is exactly what the new Internet Revenue Booster™ Consulting Services provide.
