UtellŪ Hotels & Resorts Appoints New Mexico City Business Partner
DALLAS (Oct. 9, 2007) —Utell Hotels & Resorts, a service of Pegasus Solutions Inc., today announced that it has appointed new business partner, Teresa Nuņez, to drive demand from Mexican travel agencies to Utell’s extensive portfolio of more than 3,600 hotels worldwide.

As a business partner, Nuņez will work to drive outbound travel to Utell hotels around the world and will also apply her local expertise to drive bookings to Mexican Utell hotels.

“This partnership with Teresa Nuņez underlines Utell’s commitment to the growing outbound and domestic Mexican hotel market,” said Diana Banks, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Utell Hotels & Resorts. “We are pleased to be working with Teresa and her depth of experience will enable us to cultivate our presence within the growing Mexican travel market.”
Teresa Nuņez brings to the role a wealth of experience with Utell having previously worked for the company for more than 19 years. Since her previous role at Utell, Nuņez has been working as a consultant to hotel marketing and demand sales staffs around the world, providing local support to both travel agencies and hotels.
“Utell’s extensive portfolio of hotels and ability to cater to niche markets present a unique value proposition to travelers,” said Nuņez. “The Mexican travel market has not been widely exposed to many of the new features Utell has recently introduced and I am looking forward to using my knowledge of both Utell and the Mexican travel industry to help expand awareness of the brand to travel agencies, tour operators and event planners around the country."

The Utell Hotels & Resorts service enables hotel groups and independent properties to be available on the four major Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and on more than 1,000 Web sites worldwide. The service provides a central reservation system (CRS), marketing programs, representation through Pegasus’ network of call centers, promotion to travel agents through a dedicated sales force and local business partners, “preferred supplier” status through nearly 40 leading travel agencies worldwide and revenue, yield and channel management guidance from the Utell team.
