InterContinental Hotels Group has selected Pegasus Solutions to perform commission processing on behalf of IHG's hotels to travel agents and distributors worldwide.

IHG says it is expanding its relationship with Pegasus for numerous reasons, including Pegasus' thousands of member agencies around the world.

Mike Martin, senior vice president of Distribution Operations and Technology for IHG, said, "Pegasus impressed us with the strong relationships it has built with travel agencies. Pegasus consolidates payments to member agencies, which reduces the number of payments each agency receives, improving IHG's relationship with the agent community. IHG also benefits from Pegasus' agency-friendly services such as direct deposit and payments in many local currencies."

Pegasus Solutions is a global leader in providing technology and services to hotels and travel distributors. Founded in 1989, Pegasus' customers include a majority of the world's travel agencies and more than 60,000 hotel properties around the globe.

John Davis, chairman, president and CEO of Pegasus, commented, "IHG has trusted Pegasus with its commission-processing business, indicating the value it places on the vital role that travel agents play in hotel reservations. Service is a big aspect of what we do. Pegasus' network of offices provide travel agency support and are able to directly resolve nearly 80 percent of inquiries. It's that kind of detail that sets our service apart for hoteliers such as IHG."
