"We are very excited for The Leela Palaces, Hotels & Resorts to benefit from the operational efficiencies iWTX will bring to their B2B distribution strategy. The Leela Palaces, Hotels & Resorts will no longer be bound by inflexible static contracts which have to be updated manually and prevent the hotel chain from yielding their rates based on ever-changing business and market conditions.” said Arjun Ravrani, Vice President, Strategy & Connectivity, Illusions Online. “We are very proud to have partnered with such a prestigious collection of beautiful properties and are looking forward to supporting The Leela team in achieving their future connectivity objectives."
The Leela Palaces, Hotels & Resorts join a growing list of leading hotel chains who have chosen to distribute their rates on iWTX. The hotel chain now has the ability to automate any direct agreements with their key partners, whilst also using iWTX to service new and long-tail customers.
"We are looking forward to benefiting from the operational efficiencies that automated distribution will deliver." said Merwin Ezekial Dawson, General Manager, Revenue Management & Global Distribution. "We are particularly excited to benefit from extended distribution through iWTX without having to extensively contract with individual agents. iWTX helps to provide us with full visibility, which allows us as a hotel chain to ultimately own the relationship with our customers whilst iWTX handles the connectivity and automation. The platform also has the extra benefit of providing a uniquely generated virtual credit card with every booking – which is what hotels are now crying for from a risk perspective." added Dawson.
