Le Meridien worldwide e-commerce director Andrew Pozniak said: “We’ve been very open recently about the challenges posed by broadening internet distribution. This agreement fits with our distribution strategy exactly as it provides Le Meridien with access to additional routes to market whilst maintaining the flexibility of management and cost efficiencies.”
