Presentation: Hotel Update
There is an increasing focus on the hotel
component of managed travel programs now
that most air programs have begun to reach
a stage of maturity. Coupled with the
increasing share of travel spend that
goes to hotel, managing lodging costs
is gaining a lot of attention from corporate
travel managers. This session will analyze
corporate hotel spend in 2005, discuss
future hotel pricing strategies and examine
the impact that the use of hotel eFolio
reporting will have on future negotiations.
