The Hotel Electronic Distribution Network Association (HEDNA) has contracted Tampa consultancy Solutionz Group International to prepare white papers on the distribution challenges facing hotels.

Among the topics to be covered: multi-channel distribution, Meta search engines for travel, content management, dynamic packaging and the impact of GDS deregulation.

The white papers will use information and writing from HEDNA President and Kimpton Hotels Vice President Jimmy Suh, HEDNA VP and ABC Corporate Services VP Tiffany Topcik and HEDNA Treasurer and Travelocity Director Noreen Henry.

Caryl Helsel, director of the Solutionz hospitality practice, and Kathleen Cullen are authors of the Solutionz white paper series. Both are former HEDNA executives.

The first white paper resulting from the partnership, “Hotel Nirvana: A Multi-Channel Approach,” is available at www.hedna.org.
