Travel Leaders Group next year will begin offering its own hotel program for both corporate and leisure travel agents.

The program will allow Travel Leaders agencies to book "preferred hotel partners across all chain scales in key cities with exclusive offers and value-added amenities," instead of working through third-party aggregators for hotel bookings, according to the company. Travel Leaders also hired former CCRA Travel Solutions vice president and managing director Mai Meyaart as senior vice president in charge of the hotel program.
