AccorHotels’ use of Cvent highlights the opportunity for leading hospitality brands to better manage their business travel needs.

Cvent and AccorHotels will also work together on the co-development of additional travel management capabilities that will focus on expanding transient sourcing features, creating the tools to give properties a more holistic view of rates across all market segments, and streamlining manual processes through deeper system integrations.

“We have worked with Cvent for 10 years and our properties have been very satisfied with the seamless workflow of Cvent tools both on MICE and corporate travel business,” said Agathe Fabron AccorHotels VP Business Travel & Meetings & Events. “Many of our properties have been using Cvent Business Transient for their travel needs and the positive impact we have seen thus far made the decision to roll it out worldwide very easy.
