Guests Can Now Book Meeting Rooms Online Directly via Nordic Choice Hotels’ Website

Nordic Choice Hotels and MeetingPackage, a technology provider for hotels and meeting venues, today unveiled a revolutionary new way for Nordic Choice Hotels’ customers to book meeting rooms online through their direct website. Both parties share a common goal: making online meeting bookings as easy as booking hotel rooms.

Until recently, booking meeting rooms has been a frustrating and time-consuming process as meeting planners need to enquire with venues through e-mail, phone or RFP correspondence to determine meeting space availability and pricing. Meetings & Events is now the latest segment in the Hospitality industry to embrace digitalization.

“All parties involved in arranging or booking meetings or conferences know how complicated the process is today. The difficulty in getting a complete picture of the booking, seeing prices, availability and being able to compare products has become a perpetual frustration. The arrival of online booking for conference and meeting rooms, together with the easy addition of overnight hotel rooms and additional services, has led to the creation of an easier workload for organizers, planners and travelers. The eight hotel venues in Stockholm where we have launched our solution together with Meeting Package have already submitted extremely positive feedback and the plan is to launch this service at our hotels across all Nordic countries”, says Lisa Farrar, CDO of Nordic Choice Hotels.

It is estimated that more than EUR 100 billion is spent each year globally on small meetings of under one hundred delegates. MeetingPackage is working with hotel organizations globally to help them focus on addressing customer expectations, both corporate and leisure, around how they want to search, book and manage their meeting space requirements.
