Flight
Centre Travel Group has inked a deal with hotel platform HotelHub to provide a global
booking and distribution solution for its global corporate brands,
including FCM and Corporate Traveller.
The
HotelHub platform aggregates hotel content from both GDS and non-GDS
sources, including direct connects. It includes an agent tool that automates
the hotel booking workflow and an API to
allow integration with both Flight Centre and third-party online booking
tools. This ensures all hotel bookings, regardless of how they are booked, are
manageable within the HotelHub platform.
Eric
Meierhans, chief commercial officer for HotelHub, said: “The Flight Centre
Travel Group was looking for an omnichannel approach to their hotel booking
needs. The brief was to provide a global technology solution, available online and
offline, with flexibility to integrate with other systems and content, to
deliver a standardised approach to bookings, [and to] significantly improve their
offering to clients.”
Yon
Abad, VP corporate suppliers and distribution at Flight Centre Travel Group,
said: “HotelHub’s independent, flexible and modern technology, and its
scalability and highly customisable content, will be central to our hotel strategy.”
