Marriott International has launched the “Business Access by Marriott Bonvoy” programme, designed to serve as a direct channel for small to medium-sized businesses by combining an expanded booking experience with benefits and rewards available only through Marriott Bonvoy.
Described as a “one-stop shop”, companies under the programme will now be able to book hotels in the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio at a discounted rate and use the Business Access by Marriott Bonvoy tool to book flights, rail, and rental cars.
Additionally, travel managers can use the platform to customise travel policies, monitor employee wellbeing and safety with interactive maps, and integrate with their expense management platforms – which will allow them to submit payments with virtual credit cards and automate expense reports.
“We recognise the significant value small businesses provide to the hotel industry,” said Drew Pinto, executive vice president and chief revenue and technology officer, Marriott International. “The all-in-one platform, merged with our portfolio of hotel brands around the world, provides everything they need to manage their business travel needs.”
The Business Access by Marriott Bonvoy platform is powered by Spotnana, and is currently available in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Further expansion is currently in the works.
