Olivier P. Soares, 5500+

Pawel is one of those professionals that is low profile, but gets the job done in an extremely eficient manner, and who is focused on achieving results. He clearly understands GDS, not just from a provider's point of view, but more importantly, from the end customers' point of view. He is driven by getting the bottom line for the hotels. In my book, that makes is a top profesional I would recommend any day.

      Bookassist works with hotels to optimise their online revenue channels. We enable hotels to market themselves online and drive more direct business through their own websites in order to increase margins from B2C and B2B channels. Hotels should supplement their revenue mix with GDS bookings and aim to become less and less reliant on expensive third party channels.
