TripSource Hotels: the new BCD Travel solution

BCD Travel is launching TripSource Hotels with the aim of simplifying hotel bookings for both business travellers and travel agents. The aim is to encourage business travellers to 'stay on track' with their company's recommended travel policy. 

BCD Travel is continuing to invest in technology, this time tackling the thorny issue of the hotel catalogue. On 3 September, the business travel agency unveiled its TripSource Hotels solution, a hotel reservation management platform based on GetGoing technology. The new tool stands out in particular for the diversity of its catalogue, which includes GDS (Global Distribution Systems) content as well as that of hotels and other online booking sites. "Travellers are less tempted to book on their own when they have a practical, easy-to-use tool at their disposal, offering the possibility of booking via multiple channels", says the press release. TripSource Hotels is integrated into the BCD Travel ecosystem, including virtual payment automation.

"TripSource Hotels allows travellers to benefit from the assistance of specialist travel agents when they need it," points out Valérie Sasset, Managing Director of BCD Travel France. "Travel managers have access to travel data, enabling them to manage their budgets and offer the best possible support to travellers in the event of an emergency.
