Choice Hotels International, Inc. launched Group Management Platform, an online reservation solution. Through a new portal on ChoiceHotels.com, guests can seamlessly make reservations for groups, review details at a glance, select various payment options, confirm reservations, send customized emails inviting guests to book, and make room modifications at any time. The Group Management Platform is available to members of the award-wining Choice Privileges loyalty program who are looking to book 10 rooms or more. When a room block is booked online, Choice Privileges members now receive an email confirmation with a custom link to the Group Management Platform on ChoiceHotels.com where they can: Easily Manage Group Reservations – Provides a quick overview of room confirmations, room availability for each night of the event, estimated price totals and room hold policies, along with the exact date the remaining rooms will be released back into inventory; Invite Guests to Book – Sends customized email invitations for guests to book and confirm their reservations within minutes; and Modify Reservations in Real Time – Allows organizer to modify their booking details at any time, day or night. The Group Management Platform simplifies what has traditionally been a complicated process for travel planners coordinating accommodations for events, such as weddings, sports tournaments, family outings, business meetings, and more. It also allows Choice Privileges members to earn rewards, including bonus points, airline miles, or credits for premium coffee and shared rides through the Extras program, in addition to exclusive member rates when booking direct through ChoiceHotels.com. Along with the Group Management Platform, travel agents will now be able to book commission-eligible groups on ChoiceHotels.com.
