Prestige Hotels of the World by Keytel Strengthens its Presence in the U.S. Market
Through a Partnership Agreement with Prestige Resorts & Destinations

 
Barcelona, 2 March.- Prestige Hotels of the World by Keytel has strengthened its presence in the United States, after concluding a partnership agreement with Prestige Resorts & Destinations (PR & D), an American company that has been in business since 1986 and which is dedicated to representing 4-star superior and 5 star hotels.

This agreement will allow the PHW brand to position itself strategically in the American market. It thus seeks to consolidate PHW’s sales and marketing strategy in the U.S. MICE segment, thanks to the American partner’s know how and sound commercial structure: PR & D is made up of a network of nearly 15 offices spread across the length and breadth of the United States.

According to Keytel’s CEO, Jose María Vila, “this agreement is very favourable to both companies, as it will enable us to obtain real added value thanks to greater geographical coverage, which will help us consolidate ourselves in the American market”.

Blair McKeever, founder, and president & CEO of PR & D says, “through this agreement with PHW, we are able to offer individual bookings through GDS and CRS and market our hotels by offering the know-how that comes from having 25 years’ experience in the market”.
