CWT has partnered with Booking.com for Business
so that the two companies can
provide a broader portfolio of services to clients.
The deal covers discounted business travel rates,
access to membership rewards from a variety of third-party loyalty
programs, and complimentary 24/7 travel agent support.
Powered by travel and expense technology company
Serko, the Booking.com for Business platform will combine
Booking’s accommodation options with additional hotel, flight
and car rental content provided by CWT, as well as multilingual
customer service.
Companies will be able to save time and money
with discounted business travel rates across flights,
accommodation and rental cars via the Booking.com for Business
platform, with no booking or servicing fees, all while better
managing changes and traveler safety across all trips.
Access to
CWT travel consultants will be provided in multiple languages to
assist with trip management and disruption.
“We understand everyone has different travel preferences.
For some it’s important to maximize status and loyalty points when
they travel, while others are more focused on finding the best
deal for their trips. And when disruption happens, everybody
values the ability to contact an agent any time of day or night to
get support,” said Joshua Wood, Director of Booking.com for
Business. “With this partnership, Booking.com for Business
customers will have all of this in one place, along with the tools
to manage cost and duty of care with travel expert support
wherever they are in the world 24/7.”
The expanded Booking.com for Business offering
made possible through the new partnership with CWT is expected to
go live in the second quarter of 2023.
“We are excited to partner with like-minded online
travel global leaders, Serko and Booking.com for Business.
Collectively we share a vision about making business travel
frictionless for both travelers and travel managers alike,” said
Brian Mogler, EVP and Chief Partnership Officer at CWT.
