SAP Concur Launches Hotel Connector to Revolutionize Business Hotel Booking

SAP Concur launched the Hotel Connector API for new Concur Travel, displaying TMC or hotel aggregator rates directly in the platform to combine consumer-grade choice with corporate compliance controls. The feature supports connecting to multiple content aggregators, giving access to up to six million accommodation options versus 650,000 with GDS only. HRS is the first hotel-focused technology provider to go live with fully certified features through Hotel Connector. Features include richer content and amenities, omni-search, optimized booking workflows, sustainability indicators, more payment options, and e-receipt integration.
