Hotel and Travel Index

Are You Getting the Discount You Deserve?

Welcome Back

Susan Weinstock
HTI Editorial Director

 

I received an email last week from a long time user of Hotel & Travel Index.  He used print for years, but was less familiar with HotelandTravelindex.com.  His question:  Do we still include information about discounts for the travel professional?  Answer:  Absolutely!   

HTI includes a variety of discount information for you and your client -- here's how to find it.  Go to the city of your choice and select a hotel.  Scroll below the GDS codes to "Discounts Offered".  There we list 6 categories with money saving potential:  AAA, Group, Corporate, Government/Military, Travel Agent and Airline Personnel.       

Hotel discounts for the travel agent usually range from 20%-50%.  As with any discount, always confirm with the hotel.  If we don't list a discount, it's still worth checking -- policies do change.    

Do you have comments to share, questions to ask?  Click here and I'll get back to you.
