Panel presentation to reveal how price optimization, demand forecasting and elasticity measurement are key to achieving profitability and winning the price wars in todays business environment

Scottsdale, AZ– September 19, 2011 -- The strongest demand rebound ever in the U.S. hotel industry took place in 2010, yet in 2011, improvement in the average daily rate remains elusive. The industry faces multiple challenges: a growing dependency on online travel agencies, as well as a new generation of mobile-enabled consumers ready to take advantage of instant price transparency and alerting. Now, not only can customers find the lowest rate, but the lowest rates can find the customers!
 
To help organizations win today’s hotel price wars and grow profits, JDA ^® Software Group, Inc.  (NASDAQ: JDAS), The Supply Chain Company^®, and customer Carlson Hotels will share the success behind a new revenue optimization paradigm as part of a panel at Eye for Travel’s Travel Distribution Summit 2011 in Las Vegas. The panel is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 2:00 p.m. PDT at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
 
Now in its 13^thyear, Eye for Travel’s Travel Distribution Summit 2011 brings together travel industry experts to share best practices, network, and gain additional knowledge on the four key cornerstones of online travel: distribution, revenue management and merchandising, mobile strategies and social media and marketing.
