We’ve heard it for years…’why is it so difficult to book a hotel for a meeting?!’  And, ‘why does booking a small meeting have the same amount of effort as a large meeting or event?!’  The system was broken and relied on a single, antiquated proposal process that required interaction with a hotel’s sales team for basic decision-making information.   But as our President & CEO Kemp Gallineau explains, GroupSync's technology now gives planners a choice in how hotels are booked.  With direct hotel system integrations, planners can access real-time group rates and availability.  This tech advancement opens the door to instant group booking. Now, meeting planners can instantly see if a hotel can host your group, and, if it’s a good fit for your program…without contacting the hotel directly. It’s all about taking the guesswork out of finding and booking the perfect hotel for your group, meeting or event. #groupsync #eventprofs #eventprofessionals #travel #hotelbooking #eventplanners #conference #eventindustry

It's about time we took the guesswork out of finding and booking the perfect hotel, wouldn't you say?

Have been having a lot of conversations around meeting space with hotels and convention centers recently. Another pointer that a lot of meetings are back, earlier than expected! "Hotels today have roughly 48 hours to respond to a group booking inquiry before they risk becoming a second or third priority to event planners." Love this point from Dylan Smith! Are you missing out on big M&E opportunities due to slower than ideal responses? IDeaS Revenue Solutions has solutions to help your organization make key pricing decisions faster while protecting your bottom line. #Hospitality #RevenueManagement #HotelManagement #meetingsandevents #function
