TRIPBAM RELEASES NEW FEATURE FOR HOTEL PROGRAMMES
HOTEL SHOPPING SERVICE Tripbam has launched a new feature called Strategic Share Shift (S3) which allows travel managers to shift share to preferred hotels and away from those that they think are not up to standard. Hotel performance is measured using
Tripbam Hotel Intelligence, which launched in August last year. Using S3 and Hotel Intelligence together enables travel managers to measure overall programme, hotel and chain-wide performance and compare them to a competitive set of similar companies. Travel managers can then adjust their
programme by taking actions, such as replacing poorly performing properties with hotels gaining higher scores.
