Roomex Launches Preferred Hotel Programme

Roomex launches Preferred Hotel Programme giving business travellers access to exclusive Roomex Rates. Participating hotels gain a new channel of direct access to Workforce travellers.   We’re excited to launch our new Preferred Hotel Programme, which gives hotels around the world direct access and better visibility, with no additional charges, to global audiences of workforce travellers.  By participating in this Programme, hotels can now offer exclusive discounts (Roomex Rates) directly to the workforce traveller whilst minimising distribution costs. Over 90 hotels have already signed up to be part of our programme, including Jurys, Thistle, Clayton & Maldron and Village Hotels.  The Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport worked with Roomex to pilot the programme in May 2019, Andrea Molloy, Sales & Marketing Manager at the hotel commented: We were delighted to work with Roomex on their Preferred Hotel Programme and experienced a 326% increase in room nights booked in Q3, compared to Q3, 2018. Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport increase in room nights booked since working with Roomex Preferred Hotel Programme in May 2019. It is increasingly challenging for hotels to compete in the business travel space with rising distribution costs.  We have launched the Roomex Preferred Hotel Programme to give our hotel partners direct access, with no additional fees, to the workforce traveller.  Says Keith Watson, VP Supply at Roomex Are you a hotel looking to join our Preferred Hotel Programme?
