"SiteMinder is pleased to work with IBC in making online distribution easier and more accessible to independent hotels. Our collaboration will enable IBC's independent hotels to better compete with global chains and brands in a more effective and integrated way -- and, importantly, at a fraction of the cost," says David Chestler, EVP Global Enterprise Sales & Business Development.

"It is time for smaller independent hotels to think more strategically about how they spend their marketing and sales budgets and where they can better manage both time and costs.

Independent hoteliers need to enhance and diversify their distribution strategy, and our connection with IBC empowers them to do just that."
