hubli opens venue API connectivity on the back of enterprise client growth
hubli, the leading online booking tool for meetings and group stays today launched "Venue Connect” at the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) European convention in Hamburg, Germany. A groundbreaking API that allows venues to distribute their meeting spaces and group lodging to a rapidly growing network of corporate clients and travel management companies (TMC’s).
Traditionally venue sourcing has been a very manual and offline process, with planners and venues resorting to email and phone to try to facilitate the booking. Venue Connect, via its API technology, will now allow venues to connect directly to their in-house PMS systems allowing them to selectively distribute live availability and increase automation when responding to higher value requests for proposals (RFP's).
According to the GBTA, 58% of business travel trips are now for meetings as corporations focus on smaller in-person gatherings to build culture, collaboration and sales. With over 200,000 spaces and advanced enterprise policy and ESG technology, hubli has seen a 3x growth in corporate clients in 2023 including their first Fortune 10 client.
“We are excited to launch Venue Connect to help our venues reduce time and effort handling bookings while making it even faster for our TMC and corporate clients to find the spaces they need. It has been extremely well received by our hotel and venue network, our team are already building connections into a number of global hotel chains” Commented hubli CEO, Ciaran Delaney.
