The problem:<\/u><\/strong> Many corporations are not tracking over two-thirds of their bookings of less than 25 hotel rooms and meetings with 50 or fewer participants.

Additionally, processes for small groups and meetings are manual and inefficient to source, communicate, and manage accommodations and requirements.<\/p>\n
