Groople Targets Hotel Suppliers
NOVEMBER 22, 2007. Groople provides three different booking solutions for hotel suppliers helping to automate and simplify the group travel experience.
Group travel is one of the fastest growing segments of the travel industry today and it is predicted to reach $175 billion by 2008, according to PhoCusWright, an online travel research company. There is sizable opportunity in the group travel market for individual properties and hotel chains as more of their business moves online.
The following are three group booking solutions for hotel suppliers:
---| Groople Private Rates - Looking for a way to display group rates online without managing a cumbersome extranet? Groople Private Rates gives group rate control back to the hotelier allowing you to determine group size, group type, and when group rates are available - all through dynamic pricing.
---| Groople Auto RFP - Want to increase group conversion with faster response time and market directly to the group manager with details on why your property should be considered? Groople's Auto RFP automatically delivers group requests to the property enabling the property to respond with competitive group rates all in an opaque environment.
---| Direct Connect - Interested in automating 100% of the group experience and eliminate phone calls, emails, and the usual back and forth negotiation with these smaller groups? Through Groople's direct connect technology suppliers are able to handle group pricing, rooming list collection and delivery.
