Group booking platform HotelPlanner has inked a new technology partnership with Travelport to offer instant booking and custom group rates.
HotelPlanner’s new all-in-one booking tool ‘Book-in-Block’ is integrated exclusively with Travelport and allows instant online booking capabilities for any number of rooms and room types via the Travelport platform.
Once a group negotiates a contract through HotelPlanner’s Book-in-Block, a consumer facing booking page is created allowing consumers to book group rates instantly.
"By exclusively connecting to the Travelport Travel Commerce Platform, HotelPlanner’s new solution gives group and event planners added capability to more efficiently manage their events, regardless of size," said Niklas Andreen, senior vice president and managing director, hospitality, Travelport.
Together with a travel coordinator interface, the tool offers the ability to upload attendee lists, receive instant confirmation numbers, and manage room blocks and rates online.
"HotelPlanner is excited to offer our group hotel sourcing and room block booking toolset exclusively though Travelport. I’m confident it will be a winning partnership for all the parties involved as we’ve already seen strong adoption since our launch," said John Prince, co-founder and CIO of HotelPlanner.com.
