Event booking platform Hubli, formerly MeetingsBooker.com,
has signed a multi-year partnership agreement with travel technology company
Travelport that will see the platforms share content for meetings and accommodation.
Users booking meeting spaces through Hubli’s platform will now
be able to simultaneously search and book across Travelport’s hotel portfolio
for accommodation in the same venue or nearby. The partnership will also see
Hubli enable group hotel reservations for the Travelport portfolio within its
enterprise marketplace.
Travelport, which distributes content for more than 300
global hotel brands, will also work with Hubli to create a high-speed and agile
API connection to its retailing platform Travelport+. With this new connection,
Hubli will be able to provide users with in-depth descriptive content incorporating
property pictures, specifications, amenities and geo-coordinates with millions
of interest points.
Alistair Rodger, group vice president of agency sales for
Europe at Travelport, said: “Over the last two years, the way we work has
fundamentally changed and many businesses have embraced the work-from-anywhere
mentality that their employees have demonstrated successfully throughout the
pandemic. Our partnering with Hubli simplifies the booking process for flexible
workspaces and overnight accommodation while offering users more control over
every aspect of their reservation. It also brings our dynamic hotel content to
the leaders of this new era of hybrid working.”
Ciaran Delaney, founder and CEO of Hubli, added: “Enhancing
our enterprise platform through quality global content sources like Travelport
is a key strategic focus for us as we continue to expand our proprietary group
stays and meetings booking technology. Our partnership with Travelport allows
us to further strengthen our marketplace with a diverse global hotel network in
addition to our coworking and unique meeting venue inventory offering a breadth
of choice for our clients.”
