Find your way through the new hotel landscape

Organizations setting out to rebuild their accommodation programs are discovering that the hotel landscape is more complex, fragmented, and challenging than ever before.

As travel recovers, corporate travel buyers and managers could be confronted by a perfect storm of complexity. With hotels promoting multiple rate options, they will have to keep on top of more data. Rate forecasts could be less reliable than previously. Delivering a favorable traveler experience – and reassuring travelers about their safety – may be more challenging. Plus, many buyers will be getting to grips with new and emerging priorities for their travel program, including sustainability and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

To help travel buyers and managers find their way through a new and evolving hotel environment, we have developed Navigating the New Hotel Landscape. Featuring the combined expertise of Global Business Consulting and the Rest Assured Solutions hotel specialists, the whitepaper will help you:

  • Learn how the pandemic has reshaped global hospitality
  • Understand the obstacles facing travel buyers and managers today
  • Discover how travelers’ concerns and behaviors have shifted since the travel shutdown
  • Find out how you can adapt your sourcing strategy to achieve your goals
Navigating the New Hotel Landscape will help travel buyers and managers build an effective and resilient accommodations program that will support their travelers through the return to travel and position their organizations for a prosperous future.
