CCRA Travel Solutions – a leading provider of business-related solutions for travel professionals and industry suppliers – reports that a record number of 32,000 hotels have enrolled in their 2011 Negotiated Hotel Rate Program, a 20% yr/yr increase from 2010. CCRA also announces that they are still accepting enrollment applications, meaning it’s not too late for hotels to place their properties in front of CCRA’s growing database of over 23,000 travel agencies and 55,000 independent agents worldwide.
“We are thrilled that our program continues to grow year after year allowing us to offer the best hotel choices to our travel agency subscribers while providing unique marketing and distribution opportunities to our hotel partners,” said Mai Meyaart, Vice President and Managing Director of CCRA. “While our hotel partners vary from large chains to independent boutique properties, they have one common denominator – they all truly value the business they receive from travel professionals.”
The CCRA Negotiated Hotel Rate Program is unique in that it provides hotels with distribution in both the GDS and CCRATravel.com, CCRA’s hotel booking portal for agents with no access to the GDS. Additionally, it’s the only hotel program distributed through Amadeus’ VacationLink platform – enabling hotels to expand their marketing reach to the Amadeus network of travel agent users. Finally, the 2011 Hotel Program is offered for just one low participation fee of $850 per supplier.
