8. Why?
9. What We Have Heard: From Travelers:
Travel Counselors are not offering hotels
Traveler perception:
Travelers are not getting the lowest rate when booking through a TMC/CTO
Counselors know little about the destinations and are not able to provide the information they need
Travelers do not know where they have to stay at the time they make their air/car reservation
Concerned additional fees incurred when calling back to book hotel
10. What We Have Heard: From You:
Government agencies negotiate their own “hotel deals,” and travelers must go through a local contact to book
Travel counselors do not have the tools to effectively and efficiently directionally sell hotels
Travelers want to book hotels on their own to secure hotel frequent guest points
