Press ReleaseChristopherson Travel Group launches Hotel Re-CheckMay 14, 2004, Salt Lake City - Christopherson Travel Group (CTG) today, announced the launch of a new travel tool, Hotel Re-Check, developed by their in-house IT department. Christopherson's newest enhancement to customer service automatically alerts their agents to re-check for hotel room rate reductions three days prior to a client's check-in. "This new technology will have tremendous value to our clients," said Brent Carter, CTG Director of Operations. "It's not uncommon for our agents, using Hotel Re-Check, to find the same room type for $25 to $50 lower (per night) than what was available at the time of booking. This can add up to significant savings to our corporate accounts," said Carter. The hotel industry, like the airline industry, raise and lower their rates according to availability of product, creating an ever-changing marketplace. Hotel chains have recently instituted guaranteed "best rate" price parity across ALL distribution channels-not just selected discount venues. Due to this fluid pricing environment, room rate reductions can happen close to the travel date. Now with Hotel Re-Check, Christopherson clients have the best chance at lowering their room rate without jeopardizing their travel plans. About Christopherson Travel Group |
