According to Will Jansen, vice president of North American reservations for Best Western International, "Pegasus plays a vital liaison role between Best Western hotels and the thousands of agencies that help bring travelers to our properties. Best Western's long-term vision is to have nearly all of our properties outside the U.S. utilizing automated commission processing.  We plan to achieve this goal through an expansion of our good working relationship with Pegasus and the ongoing implementation of new technologies."

"Best Western was one of the first major hotel chains to join Pegasus Commission Processing, and we're pleased to begin a second decade of serving this prestigious client," said Jeff Bzdawka, senior vice president of Pegasus Financial Services. 

"Best Western's commitment to process its commission payments worldwide through Pegasus reaffirms our status as the undisputed global leader in hotel commission processing services.  This agreement also highlights the growing presence of Pegasus Commission Processing on the international stage, enhancing relationships between hotels and agencies while facilitating timely commission payments for all relevant parties." 

Each month, Pegasus collects actual guest stay information related to Best Western hotel bookings made by travel agents by extracting the information from Best Western's central reservations system.  After consolidating Best Western's information and commission payments with that of other Pegasus participating hotels, Pegasus sends a consolidated commission payment to its member travel agencies worldwide.  Payments are delivered in the agency's choice of currency.

Best Western International is the world's largest hotel chain with more than 4,000 hotels in 80 countries and territories.  Best Western is a membership association of independently owned and operated hotels that provides marketing, reservations and operational support to its members.
