HOTEL DISTRIBUTION LANDSCAPE

Understanding hotel distribution technology can be overwhelming especially as new technology partners are introduced on a frequent basis.  At the same time, the existing distribution partners are evolving their business models to capitalize on increased revenue opportunities.  If this isn't enough activity within the hotel distribution technology evolution, the constant acquisitions and mergers of these partners adds another level of complexity.  

#SnapShotChart developed this visual of the hotel distribution technology to help grasp the landscape. 

Essentially each layer of technology connects to the previous layer and brings the hotel's Availability, Rates and Inventory to the next layer.
