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.
