Travelport partners with Groupize

TRAVELPORT has entered
into a partnership with
Groupize to provide TMCs
with a new self-service
booking platform for small
groups and meetings.
“Automating small group
bookings has been a top
request from the travel
agency community,” said
Tracie Carillo, Travelport’s
global head of hospitality
sales.
Groupize gives TMCs and
corporations more control
over their bookings for small
groups and meetings, and
users can source, book,
track and manage groups
of under 25 rooms or fewer
than 50 participants.
By working with the
Travelport Travel Commerce
Platform, Groupize’s cloudbased,
mobile solution
gives TMCs easy access
to a portal of hotels,
negotiated rates, competing
bids, approval tracking,
a communication engine
and online bookings with
PNRs. Users can also opt
for custom branding as
an agency solution or selfservice
booking tool for
corporations.
