1/8/2006
Group Travel Planet, LLC, the travel industry’s foremost online group-booking engine and provider of group-booking technology to Orbitz, SideStep, and Amadeus, announced today that it has connected to Hotel Booking Solutions Incorporated’s (HBSI) Demand Partner Network to access real-time group rates and room inventory from Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., the world’s largest provider of branded casino entertainment, and its 34 domestic casino resorts.
The integration of Group Travel Planet’s fully-automated group-booking engine into HBSI means group travel planners can seamlessly search and book available hotel rooms at participating Harrah’s hotels at discounted group rates. In addition, the connection between Group Travel Planet and HBSI fully incorporates Group Travel Planet’s advanced group management system allowing groups to manage every aspect of their group hotel reservation online, including adding and dropping rooms, making deposits and payments by check or credit card, submitting rooming lists, and allowing individual group members to reserve and pay for single rooms from their group’s room block.
