Onelink4travel, Inc. a provider of integrated global distribution and financial settlement services to the travel and tourism industry, announced that its travel marketing business unit, CCRA International, has offered to provide free marketing assistance to its participating hotel partners in the New Orleans area once those hotels reopen for business. The offer, which includes promoting the hotels via special preferred rate plans and other offers, has already been accepted by several of the city’s best-known properties.
CCRA International is one of the largest travel marketing organizations in the world, facilitating the sale of approximately 30 million hotel room nights each year. The company is well known within the hotel industry for negotiating and packaging discount rate specials directed at both the business and leisure travel segments, then promoting those deals via travel agents in the U.S. and abroad.
In addition to waiving its listing fees for one year from the date each hotel re-opens its doors, CCRA has said it will assist each hotel by announcing its re-entry into the marketplace through an email blast to CCRA’s network of travel agents worldwide. The company has also made a donation to the American Red Cross in the name of their agency partners.
CCRA’s offer is our way of extending support to our many hotel friends, as well as their employees and affiliates, who have been affected by the natural disaster in New Orleans, said Fran Kiradjian, president and CEO of CCRA International. The travel industry has been subjected to many difficulties in recent years, from terrorism and soaring fuel prices to hurricanes and other weather-related problems. It is CCRA’s intent to overcome these horrendous challenges and to position its partners for renewed success.
CCRA business partners who have a New Orleans property affected by the disaster and who need assistance can contact Mai Meyaart (maimeyaart@ccraonline.com) or Benet Henderson (bhenderson@ccraonline.com ).
