John F. Davis III: Pioneering Hotel Distribution | Louis-Hippolyte Bouchayer posted on the topic | LinkedIn

📚 John F. Davis III, a pioneer in hotel distribution, passed away earlier this year. His work on Pegasus revolutionized the industry by enabling global, real-time inventory distribution through a neutral switch connecting hotel CRS systems to GDSs. This innovation reshaped business travel and agency bookings. Davis's philosophy emphasized solving infrastructure problems, supporting the ecosystem, and innovating reliably. His contributions remind us to continue evolving and challenging outdated models in hotel distribution and travel tech. #HotelDistribution #Innovation

✈️ Booking's growth into a flight booking leader, outpacing Expedia, was propelled by strategic partnerships and non-traditional tactics despite the EU blocking their acquisition of Etraveli. Key moves included utilizing Etraveli’s technology, avoiding traditional marketing, leveraging metasearch, capitalizing on Booking.com's traffic, and implementing innovative distribution strategies. This success showcases the effectiveness of incremental progress in market dominance.
