Will group travel-booking ever get there? Groupize hopes TravelClick pact will be a start. Several startups have failed at mastering online travel planning and booking for small groups, but Groupize hopes a new connection to the TravelClick central reservation system and accompanying agreement will put the process on the right track. TravelClick agreed to connect its iHotelier CRS to Groupize, giving more than 5,000 hotels, primarily in the US, the potential ability to manage their rates and inventory on the group-booking site.
Charles de Gaspe Beaubien, Groupize CEO, says under the agreement the TravelClick sales force will seek to sign up properties to manage their rates and inventory for small-group travel planning and booking on Groupize. Groupize relaunched in beta as a booking site for groups early this year and hopes to move to the next stage with the TravelClick agreement, as well as those with the Wyndham Worldwide and Westgate Resorts. Pegasus Solutions also provides connectivity to Groupize, although without a further agreement it is for retail, not group, rates.
