Tourico Holidays Commits to Booking 25 Percent of Occupancy at Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City
By: Robert Diamond Apr. 13, 2016
"Tourico and Hotel Pennsylvania have been distribution partners for the last 20 years, but this agreement marks the largest single hotel commitment in our company's history," said Dermot Quigley, Executive Vice President of Global Product Development for Tourico Holidays. "Our ability to support one of the largest hotels in New York City with significant daily occupancy numbers is a testament to our unparalleled distribution network."
New York City has been Tourico Holidays' top revenue earning destination in the world since the company launched in 1994. In 2016, the company has increased its local risk portfolio by an additional $40 million and is pacing 40 percent higher revenue than this time last year. In fact, Tourico's confirmed sales in New York City for the fourth quarter of 2016 are already a 100 percent year-over-year increase.
Committing to 25 percent of Hotel Pennsylvania's 1,700 rooms will help Tourico ensure its clients always have access to quality hotel rooms in New York City, at industry-leading rates - even during peak season. The commitment will also allow Hotel Pennsylvania to ensure a bulk of its inventory will be sold consistently - without any added overhead.
"Tourico was well ahead of its competitors, becoming the first to pre-buy hotel room blocks in 1995 and, two decades later, we are still innovating and leading the industry with our unprecedented exclusive deals," said Quigley.
