New Technology is a turning point for Business Travel
RESTON, Va., Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, BridgeStreet has launched a leading-edge solution to address a major pain point for corporate travel managers and business travelers. This new platform provides easy-access to trusted, global accommodations across both traditional and alternate hospitality experiences in a single, easy-to-use user experience.
Six Ways to Stay™ – BridgeStreet's newest technology platform that enables corporate travel managers, clients and business travelers to book professionally-operated Extended Stay Hotels, Hotels, Furnished Homes, Urban/Resort Vacation Rentals, Serviced Apartments and design-led Hostels under one roof - bridgestreet.com. What once took weeks, now takes minutes – a towering upgrade for the industry.
BridgeStreet's evolution from hospitality operator to travel technology platform is completely transforming an industry vertical. Similar to prominent business cases like Walmart, Jet, Amazon, or Whole Foods, where consolidation and customer consideration were key, BridgeStreet is unifying a fragmented global accommodation market into a one-stop-solution. The goal? To singularly meet the needs of BridgeStreet's business customer's demands: rate transparency, duty to take care of your traveler, trusted data management, ease of use, reporting and real-time booking.
"It's rare that any business finds the opportunity to take advantage of special market conditions - but we have. Six Ways to Stay™ marks a turning point for Business Travel and how it operates. Simply put – we've made it easier than it's ever been, providing every guarantee and convenience the travel department needs to operate with confidence. With millions of accommodations now available on the site (and growing), Six Ways to Stay™ is proof of a growing Extended Stay industry in need and our BridgeStreet technology platform delivering a promise. If you build it, they will come." Sean Worker, BridgeStreet President and CEO.
With over 20 years of experience, BridgeStreet saw the opportunity to elevate access to a globally-curated community of trusted accommodations, backed by the BridgeStreet Guarantee – which has set the gold standard for Business Travel. This is a natural evolution of the technology platform, which BridgeStreet originally pioneered in 2017.
"We're undergoing real transformation, servicing over 22,000 cities, with millions of choices and Six Ways to Stay™, all supported by BridgeStreet Teams from San Francisco to Singapore." said Sean, "When other industry players were reading tea leaves, we were listening and learning from customers. TRUST IS THE NEW CURRENCY and we've built this platform to deliver on that understanding in every way – from rate transparency to duty of care. It's about providing "Your Stay, Your Way" with confidence, every time."
