Why Travelport for hotel
New Preferences
COVID-19 has drastically altered consumer behavior. Many travelers are avoiding cities, opting for less-crowded suburban or rural areas. For agents, this means choosing from different hotel types than what’s usually on offer. Travelport gives you the right level of choice to accommodate these changes.
Exclusive deals
Safety is still priority number one for travelers. But everyone loves a deal, and it may help to influence people to book. Travelport Exclusive Rates allows you beef up your offer and entice travelers to book, by including an ‘exclusive’ element (like complimentary breakfast or free Wi-Fi).
More % for agents
Hotels pay agents bigger commissions. Add the most competitive flat rate types to the mix (consortia, exclusive, and negotiated), and you’re set up to start selling again. We help agents to quickly and easily compare the best value deal — generating more commission for you each booking session.
Safety updates
Agents are under huge pressure to provide hotel safety advice. Trawling for information is not how you want to spend your valuable time. Travelport provides updates on restrictions and hotel safety measures within the platform — keeping you productive and valuable to your customer.
