Higher Stakes at the Hotel Bargaining Table
As the air component of managed travel programs attains maturity, many travel managers are beginning to focus more closely on the hotel sector of their portfolios. At the same time hoteliers are bringing new pricing strategies to the negotiating table and the corporate demand for hotel eFolios is increasing…suddenly hotel negotiations are looking a little more unpredictable. This session will explore the ramifications of these new factors from both sides of the table.
