Travelsavers Hotel Division, a travel services and distribution provider, is launching Extended Stays by Travelsavers, a marketing program aimed at offering additional prominence for long stay properties in the network’s preferred hotel program.
Extended Stays by Travelsavers offers participating hotels enhanced access to agencies that specialize in the niche. Advisors affiliated with the Travelsavers and NEST networks can easily research and find accommodations that meet their clients’ long-term needs. The curated selection of properties, according to an announcement, “provides the perfect blend of comfort and functionality for business travelers, ensuring they have a home-away-from-home experience.”
Extended Stays by Travelsavers is promoted to advisors through a dedicated section in their extranets, which highlights the unique amenities and benefits the hotels offer. Properties can be booked using the networks’ proprietary online tool, tripXpress. Extended Stays by Travelsavers also includes essential booking information for advisors new to the industry and this segment of travel.
As part of the program, extended stay brands and properties can access a comprehensive array of tools with dedicated marketing support and advisor education opportunities, further growing their awareness and reach within the Travelsavers and NEST advisor community.
Samantha Jones, senior vice president, hotel programs with the Travelsavers Hotel Division, said, “Extended Stays by Travelsavers demonstrates our ongoing commitment to showcase the distinctive advantages of our hotel partners.” She added, “Our goal is to provide exceptional accommodation options and content that will allow our agencies and advisors to best service corporate accounts and travelers.”
Extended Stays by Travelsavers was created, said the announcement, to strategically provide higher visibility for these partners at a time of increasing demand for longer-term accommodation. The global extended stay market is valued at $54.5 billion, according to Future Market Insights. It is projected to grow at a rate of 11.8 % until 2033.
