BCD Travel flags failure of corporate negotiated hotel rate codes

Jonathan Kao, managing director of BCD Travel Greater China, noted that corporate negotiated hotel rates in China are leaking through online marketplaces and resale platforms, and some hotels have switched to verifying employee identity at the front desk, but this approach shifts the burden onto travelers. The report did not disclose the specific scale of the rate code failures, the number of hotels involved, or a timeline, nor did it explain specific measures travel managers should take.
