RateTiger to Present at HITEC 2009 Roundtable
ORLANDO, FL, June 18, 2009 - Online channel management specialist, RateTiger will be making its presence felt at this year's Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference (HITEC). Sascha Hausmann, the company's Chief Operations Officer will be hosting Roundtable discussions as well as leading tutorial sessions during the five day event.
The greatest challenge hoteliers are facing is how to manage the different distribution channels efficiently while balancing rates, availability, parity and occupancy. With the dynamics of travel changing on a daily basis, channel management and benchmarking technology is the only logical option to manage the internet for long-term survival.
In one of the scheduled Roundtable discussions - 'Maximizing revenue during turbulent economic times: has seamless connectivity failed?' Sascha Hausmann, COO, will be sharing his experiences of the online travel marketplace and how things are changing for hoteliers. He says, "We believe that we can create an excellent discussion around new and traditional technologies, between evolution of tools and processes to implementing new procedures. Many hoteliers are struggling to make an informed decision and identify the capabilities of revenue management strategies in today's growing online consumer environment."
During the event, HITEC also offers exhibitor tutorial sessions. These sessions provide information to help attendees make better buying decisions. RateTiger will be presenting a tutorial session on Tuesday 23 June, 10.30am: 'Channel Management and the traditional reservation system'.
