Did you know that up to 30% of a business trip's emissions come from hotel stays alone? Our State of Sustainability in Corporate Travel report highlights just how big a role lodging plays in your company’s carbon footprint—and why focusing on Green Stay hotels can make a real difference. Key Takeaways: 👉 30% of Total Emissions: Hotel stays can account for nearly a third of your trip’s overall footprint. That’s a significant portion, and it’s clear that prioritizing procurement and booking of sustainable accommodation is key to cutting emissions across your travel program. 👉 The Power of Sustainable Lodging: Opting for hotels with solid sustainability practices doesn’t just tick a box—it can substantially lower your travel-related emissions, helping you hit your sustainability targets. 👉 Stay Ahead of Regulations: As ESG regulations become more stringent, focusing on sustainable lodging options also keeps your company in line with evolving sustainability standards and third-party verifications on your corporate sustainability strategy and reporting. Ready to take control of your travel program’s carbon footprint? Explore the full report to see how addressing hotel emissions can make all the difference.

Securing & Leveraging Level 3 Data: Keys to Optimizing the Hotel Data Puzzle I’ve previously characterized the main problem facing managed corporate hotel programs today as the “Data Puzzle.” To control leakage and provide a best-in-class experience for business travelers, corporate procurement leaders and travel managers need access to what we call “Level 3 data.” Level 3 data is granular payment, expense, and ESG data, all consolidated onto a centralized platform where it can supplement transactional booking data. Without Level 3 data, it’s almost impossible to orchestrate al hotel program that can evolve and adapt as quickly as today’s market conditions change. With it, companies can keep pace and also deliver continuous optimization that accommodates general pricing fluctuations as well as company-specific changes impacting segments of travelers. As each data puzzle falls into place, new trends can be identified and AI-driven automation can recommend fixes and/or enhancements that have the potential to elevate both efficiency and savings. Access to Level 3 data can shed light on a single, comprehensive view of total hotel expenses. This transparency can help ensure the offsetting of double-digit price increases, elimination of sub-optimal pricing models, and compliance with company policy and regulatory controls. The proprietary automation driving HRS’ Lodging as a Service (LaaS) platform, with its end-to-end, Procure-to-Reclaim foundation, is designed to collect, consolidate, deduplicate, and audit data. It’s our answer to the data puzzle, and it’s transforming managed travel today. Our LaaS platform allows us to generate high-quality Level 3 data that allows for real-time performance monitoring and the continuous optimization of a travel program. We can generate, consolidate, and analyze granular traveler data, enabling the defining of travel personas and sets of tracking metrics that enhance projections and forecasts. Taken together, HRS technology and the expertise of our global team are helping Fortune 500 clients fine-tune their travel strategies, lower costs, boost performance, increase employee satisfaction, and enhance risk management. The HRS LaaS Procure-to-Reclaim platform expands lodging options far beyond the confines of legacy GDS systems, providing comprehensive data that digitizes travel processes and exceeds traveler expectations. It’s now a simple equation. As companies look to 2025 and take steps to modernize travel programs via new technology, Level 3 data holds the key to newfound awareness and the capacity to nimbly address short-term and long-term impediments to program optimization. HRS’ LaaS platform, infused with real-time Level 3 data and AI-driven recommendations, provides a singular solution for companies ready to elevate their travel programs. #Travel #CorporateTravel #TravelManagement #Data

Refining Procurement in 2025: Navigating a Dynamic Global Travel Market As we look ahead to 2025, the first business travel forecasts are starting to take shape. Despite the constant changes in how companies approach travel procurement, many of these reports feel repetitive – the language and framing remain largely the same, with only the numbers shifting year to year. What often gets overlooked, particularly in lodging, is the increasing trend of Convergence in managed hotel programs. With the pandemic behind us and the surge in “revenge travel” tapering off, hoteliers are becoming more resistant to offering discounts in their corporate agreements. Many are even seeking to raise rates. However, for those procurement leaders with a keen eye, there are still significant opportunities to negotiate favorable rates and contract terms. At HRS, we’re proud to see many of our clients leading the charge and redefining what “refined procurement” means as we approach 2025. Convergence: A Growing Trend in Hotel Negotiations One of the most significant shifts in the industry right now is the acceleration of Convergence in hotel procurement. This trend, which refers to companies consolidating their spending across multiple segments such as transient, meetings, and extended stays, is gaining momentum. According to a report HRS published with GBTA in 2023, more than half of our clients are now booking room nights across these segments, a threshold that signals a meaningful change in the market. By gaining visibility into their total spend and incorporating detailed Level-3 data from hotel invoices, many corporate buyers are leveraging their combined volumes in their 2025 negotiations. This approach allows them to counteract rising rates, with some HRS clients achieving savings of up to 14%. A Future-Ready Procurement Strategy The data shows that this strategy is working: more and more companies are adopting Convergence. Last year, 15% of our clients negotiated converged deals for transient and meetings. This year, that number is set to surpass 20%, and we anticipate it will reach over a third of our client base in the near future. Additionally, HRS’s new Workforce Travel solution offers corporate buyers another opportunity to capture a substantial share of their lodging spend—an estimated 22%—and use that to strengthen their negotiating position. This advanced approach not only delivers cost savings but also provides unparalleled insights into traveler behaviors, helping to elevate corporate lodging programs. As companies finalize their 2025 contracts, those embracing these refined strategies are well-positioned to secure better rates and optimize their travel programs. Is your company ready to take this leap?
