INCREASE BUSINESS TRAVEL
BE VISIBLE WHERE CORPORATE TRAVELERS BOOK
Agent-booked corporate business travel has the highest ADR among other channels in your distribution mix. Studies have shown that business travelers spend more in your hotel while traveling, have higher loyalty to the hotels they stay at and provide repeat business that travels year-round.
In order to capture this business, hotels need to be where the business is booked. For independent hotels in business demand markets participating in consortia and corporate RFP programs help open the door to new corporate business .
For 3-star elite hotels in high demand markets, COHO offers exclusive Business Travel perks designed to drive more business to your hotel thru the BT Chaincode and BT corporate/consortia programs.
WHAT IS CONSORTIA?
Consortia and TMCs (Travel Management Companies) are associations that link together small and medium sized independent travel agencies designed to leverage purchasing power within a given market.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When business travel is booked by an agent into a market where the business doesn't have an established negotiated rate, the agent first looks at hotels participating in their consortia program.
