Hogg Robinson Group (HRG), the award-winning international corporate travel services company, will launch the newest version of its online booking tool, HRG Online TM at the Business Travel and Meetings Show this week. Visitors to the show will be able to experience the benefits of the new version including integrated Ground Transportation, and a Hotel BillBack facility.

This latest version of HRG Online is available now on the Galileo GDS in the UK and builds on a long legacy of technology products conceived and developed by HRG’s in-house team in direct response to client need. Included in the enhancements are:

• Ground Transportation feature which enables clients to book global taxis and limousines online and helps to identify and consolidate spend, thereby helping to drive costs down. The ability to book online ensures clients can balance the need for cost savings and consolidated spend with the demands for a convenient yet reliable and safe service.
• New Hotel BillBack facility which gives travellers the option of having certain elements of their stay in UK hotels billed directly back to HRG UK. As hotel charging becomes increasingly complex, with separate costs for value-add services such as breakfast and parking, the ability to centrally manage this expenditure is a feature requested by many HRG clients. It adds to the already comprehensive range of hotel booking capabilities in HRG Online™ which includes access to a vast range of great hotel rates, including distressed inventory which often provides much discounted rates. Both GDS and non GDS hotels can be booked as well as rooms from allocation.

For a demonstration of the new product, please contact productinfo@hrgworldwide.com.
