The Hotwire program will utilize Aspire�s expertise in the area of revenue maximization/management and will provide education on 1) the value of a guest obtained through an opaque channel, and how to turn them into loyal customers, and 2) creating more wallet share for the hotel for each converted guest.

The Hotwire.com Difference�

As a large and growing opaque distribution channel, Hotwire has stepped out as a leader and innovator in the industry with this new program.  Hotwire Revenue Improvement Powered by Aspire demonstrates the company�s vision and commitment to reverse the prevalent perception that electronic distribution companies are at odds with the hotel industry. 

In seeking ways to support and benefit hotels, Hotwire searched out a third-party expert to help them develop and deliver a program that would show that Hotwire can actually bring incremental dollars and customers to make money to its hotel partners, rather than robbing the hotels of market share.  Aspire was selected by Hotwire because of its reputation with hoteliers for innovative, revenue-enhancing programs that consistently produce high-powered results for hotel properties.
