The GTMC today welcomes its newest industry partner, TRIPBAM, the award-winning cloud-based hotel rate assurance provider.
The partnership follows the announcement of TRIPBAM’s latest feature, Smart Share Shift (S3), which allows travel managers to shift share to preferred hotels and away from hotels that are not performing as expected. As a partner of the GTMC, TRIPBAM will be able to further expand its global footprint, drive greater savings and increased compliance for corporate hotel programmes and participate in a number of high-profile networking and industry events.
Adrian Parkes, chief executive, GTMC, commented:
