Transient business travellers are an important source of revenue for hotels worldwide, especially for those based primary corporate destinations, this is because they bring repeated business with higher ADR, so hoteliers make all efforts to capture bookings coming from this market segment.
GDS production comes mostly from corporate travel buyers, where travel agents are tasked with completing full bookings on the GDSs for best operational efficiency and to ensure contract compliance. I have worked with hotels with a focus on increasing their revenue on the GDS for over 5 years now.
The future of corporate travel, the big fault lines of disruption for the travel managers and buyers, the innovators emerging from the sector, and the changing business traveller habits that are upending how corporate travel is packaged, bought and sold.
This brief presentation includes information on how travel agents are currently booking hotels, the content they are looking for when searching for suppliers and how the whole landscape of corporate travel and e-distribution is changing.
Hoteliers should be aware of all these aspects to maximise visibility and production and prepare for the future.
