"All Pacific International Hotels are built for and marketed to specific customer groups such as corporate, leisure/family, groups and independent travelers," said Nigel Corne, Managing Director for Pacific International Hotels. "There are four categories of properties which cater to these various groups and their budgets: the luxury Suites, Apartments, Resorts and Inns. Because of this variety in our product offering, we need to focus our product distribution towards various market segments and business models. In addition to a Sydney customer service center that has fully operational support facilities, a feature that is unique for this type of service in Australia, hotelBANK offers us a multitude of product distribution options at commercially viable rates."
Stefan M. Piringer, President & COO of hotelBANK, added, "We are delighted that Pacific International Hotels has selected hotelBANK as its product distribution systems provider. We believe that our products and services will assist Pacific International's rapid growth in the Australian and international marketplaces."
