Bizly and Booking.com announced on Thursday the availability
of Bizly’s event booking platform through Booking.com for Business’ partner
marketplace.
The partnership gives Booking.com for Business customers
access to Bizly’s global venue network of hotels, conference centers, private
dining, co-working spaces and experiential venues for efficient group, meetings
and event bookings. It also enables them with Bizly’s AI-powered venue sourcing
tools, concierge support and event management features.
"Meetings and events are often 'the why' for business
travel," said Booking.com for Business lead Joshua Wood in a statement. “Through
our partnership with Bizly, we are able to offer the hundreds of thousands of
companies who use Booking.com for Business a way to not only manage their
business travel, but now also their meetings and events.”
Bizly joins the likes of Expensify, International SOS and
Traxo within Booking.com for Business’ partner marketplace—a collection of business
travel-adjacent providers that Booking.com for Business users can tap into as
part of a well-rounded business travel and expense ecosystem. With the addition
of Bizly, Booking customers gain another key pillar for managing travel and
related spending.
"We've had the same mission since day one: Make it as
easy to book an event as it is to book a flight or hotel," said Bizly
founder and CEO Ron Shah. "Partnering with Booking.com for Business gives
us the opportunity to bring our vision of seamless event bookings to an even
broader audience while establishing a new category standard.”
