American Express Global Business Travel has announced the integration of its hotel marketplace into the new Concur Travel solution via Concur's Hotel Connector for access to comprehensive and competitive hotel content for business travel.
In addition to their negotiated hotel programs, joint customers can choose to add extra content on more than 2 million properties across 180 countries, along with a wide range of rates, including Amex GBT preferred partner rates and offers from Expedia and Booking.com — all contained within Amex GBT’s marketplace, ensuring broad choice for travelers while capturing all booking data for the corporate program.
"We believe this is the crucial next step in empowering our travelers and clients to get the very best of the Amex GBT marketplace," said Simon Fishman, vice president of global business partnerships. "By providing access to more than 2 million properties around the world at great rates, we are excited that we can now bring these benefits to our SAP Concur customers."
