"It is an honor to be recognized as the leader in distribution services by the World Travel Awards," said Davis.

Pegasus has been recognized as a pioneer in distribution services since it developed the universal electronic reservations switch in the early 1990's. The switch allows for instant connections to GDSs and the Internet giving travel agents the ability to tap into new distribution channels and customers instant access across the globe. Today, Pegasus' distribution services customers include 35 hotel companies with more than 130 hotel brands representing more than 60,000 properties worldwide.
