Rubicon® to Debut New Publishing Unit, IndustryIntel™, at New York University Hospitality Conference
Rubicon to speak and exhibit at one of industry's most influential conferences
Atlanta (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 3, 2009 -- Rubicon, a leading provider of competitive market intelligence to the global hospitality and travel industries, will unveil its latest product, IndustryIntel, at the New York University International Hospitality Industry Investment Conference May 31 - June 2, 2009 at the Waldorf~Astoria in New York City.
IndustryIntel, Rubicon's new publishing unit, offers detailed insights into industry performance for the coming twelve months. These insights are based upon future demand collected directly from major hotel companies and on pricing gathered from distribution channels. IndustryIntel's publications analyze demand and pricing by market, customer segment and distribution channel. The reports are the only forward-looking analysis of the hospitality industry that is based on robust, factual, advance demand and pricing data.
"The information provided through IndustryIntel empowers all segments of the hospitality industry to significantly improve their business decisions based on the observed future demand and pricing in the North American market," said Rubicon Chairman and CEO Steve Swope. "Since the information reflects actual booked demand for the upcoming year, decisions are based on what is happening rather than what might happen. Our customers gain transformative insight into trends and market activity well in to the future. This proves an incredible advantage in increasing market and revenue performance."
IndustryIntel's forward-looking insight is critical for hotel chains, management companies, owners, investors, developers and travel distributors who strive to make well-informed business decisions, based on the most current market information available.
"IndustryIntel gives us confidence in our decision making," said Dave Roberts, Senior Vice President of Global Revenue Management for Marriott International. "It is a great way to understand what is happening in the market, now and in the future, based on facts. This information has been talked about in concept but Rubicon has moved the hospitality industry forward by making it a reality."
In addition to debuting IndustryIntel, Rubicon's CEO Steve Swope will participate in a NYU Hospitality Conference panel discussion, "Asset Managers vs. Operators: Friends or Foes?" on Monday, June 1 from 3:45 to 5:00 p.m. at the Park Avenue Entrance, Hilton at the Waldorf~Astoria. The panel will focus on how operators and asset managers can come to understand performance in the context of the overall market and what the industry should expect from the market for the rest of this year and early 2010.
