Video Interview with Ric Leutwyler, President of Utell Hotels & Resorts
Last week at the World Travel Market, I had the opportunity to spend a little bit of time with Ric Leutwyler, the newly appointed President of Utell Hotels & Resorts (part of Pegasus).
Topics covered:
- Is Utell a hotel chain or a representation company or both?
- What is a difference between Unirez and Utell?
- What’s new with the reservation platform?
- How their B2C hotelbook.com can compete with the big OTAs of this world with a much largest budget in terms of advertising (PPC campaigns, offline…)
- Can any hotel join Utell?
- How do they advise hotels to pay attention to hotel reviews
- What are the key selling points for a travel agent to book Utell hotels vs other hotel chains
- How the Utell brand is presented at the hotel property
Enjoy. As always, if you wish to be interviewed by Hotel Blogs, drop me an email.
