While many corporate travel buyers have come to accept that there is no alternative to the annual process of working for six months to put together requests for proposals and then negotiate rates with their hotel partners that then may or may not be entered properly in the global distribution systems, many have begun to search for other ways to do business.
Many hoteliers and suppliers also are not happy with the status quo and have begun looking at and even working on alternatives.
The BTN Group will host its 2nd Annual Business Travel Lodging Summit in New York City and Inaugural Summit in London to address the current broken system of hotel sourcing, examine established alternatives and generate recommendations to move the industry forward.
