This new solution will initially be available for French companies before being rolled out in 2016 to the group’s key markets, notably Europe.
The launch of AccorHotels Business Solution is also in line with the digital transformation initiated by the group, which aims to develop innovative solutions for professionals and to incorporate a growing number of B to B services into its the worldwide booking site.
Cyril Kovarsky, senior vice president global sales for AccorHotels, said, “With AccorHotels Business Solution, AccorHotels is the first hotel group to provide a simple answer to a key expectation in the SME/SMI corporate market, namely the centralisation of bookings and invoicing, so they can better monitor hotel spending and simplify their expense account management.”
