Hotel Engine, a booking platform for business travel, announced it has added new tools to support hotels in responding to requests for proposals (RFPs) for group travel. Among the new capabilities, according to the announcement:
- Rapid response to RFPs: Craft custom-tailored proposals for groups in minutes with Hotel Engine’s intelligent RFP wizard and data-driven pricing tips.
- Streamlined RFP management: View and manage RFPs in one convenient dashboard, with easy online access for on-site staff or centralized teams.
- Actionable competitive intelligence: Analyze real-time market data to benchmark a property against similar local competitors.
- Effortless communications: Save time by reducing back-and-forth emails and calls to prospective guests to coordinate group bookings.
Hotel Engine’s new group travel features are the latest additions to its Partner Hub, which helps hotels manage their bookings and reach tens of thousands of active businesses booking travel in Hotel Engine’s worldwide member network.
That member network is about to get even larger, according to the announcement, with personal travelers gaining access to group bookings later this month. Individuals with groups of nine or larger will be able to sign up for Hotel Engine using their personal email and book group events. As always, Hotel Engine requires no annual contract or minimum spend. Personal travelers using the group booking tool will also receive access to benefits including Hotel Engine loyalty points, consolidated travel billing and round-the-clock customer service.
