NBTA Keeps Hotel RFP Changes To A Minimum

The hotel committee of the National Business Travel Association yesterday announced that changes to its modular electronic request for proposal format for the upcoming 2003 bid season would be kept to a minimum, focusing largely on improving definitions. The wording changes are designed mostly to encourage hotels outside of North America to use the RFP approach, which first was introduced a year ago. In addition, translations of the modules into French, German and Spanish will be available by mid-June. Responses, however, still must be in English.
