Travelocity Partners With Groople to Offer Group Discounts
February 1, 2005 – According to Travel Weekly today, Travelocity has entered into a partnership with Groople to offer group discounts.

A co-branded Group Hotels area, accessible from Travelocity’s hotel-search page, offers discounted rates, content and planning tools for consumers seeking to book five rooms or more, the companies said.

Although the booking process is not automated, users can make phone inquiries or request an online quote and then receive a group rate over the phone.

Available planning tools include automated rooming lists that consumers manipulate rather than the hotels; the ability for group members to pay on separate credit cards; and "flexible payment options," the companies said.

Travelocity is the first to introduce group bookings among the three major online agencies.

Groople has group inventory agreements with Cendant brands, Best Western, and La Quinta Inns, among others.
