How much more can you expect to pay? STR sees the Average Daily Rate going up 4.1 percent to $103.01.

The increases are driven by an improving economy that’s driving more business travelers out on the road.

reduce hotel Costs for Your Company travelers


WINTeR 2011 | VoL. 3 ISSue 1

Companies that travel for business can expect to pay higher

prices this summer at hotels across the country.

According to a recent Hospitality Trends article, the 2011

Summer Forecast from Smith Travel Research (STR) confirms the

predictions of rising lodging costs that surfaced in Q4 last year.

How much more can you expect to pay? STR sees the Average

Daily Rate going up 4.1 percent to $103.01.

The increases are driven by an improving economy that’s driving

more business travelers out on the road. The travel cutbacks that

began in 2007 are starting to shift as businesses ramp up. Hotels

are seeing better demand for rooms.

What does this mean for your business? More hotel occupancy

will affect the bargains and front-desk deals some businesses

have negotiated over the past three years. Expect those to

become much less frequent – if not disappear altogether.

The good news is that CheckINN Direct helps your company

manage your workforce lodging costs. Putting a CheckINN Card,

like the one offered by CheckINN Direct, in your employees’

hands immediately reduces your hotel room rates by 20-40% off

hotels’ lowest published rates. That’s every room, every stay.

Your workforce travelers can show our CheckINN Card at

check-in at 10,000 participating hotel locations across the country

– familiar chains and leading independents that include Hilton

Garden, Super 8, Best Western, Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn Express

and Hampton Inn.

As predicted, bargain room rates and last-minute deals are much harder to find now that the lodging business is improving. The latest development: hotel chains are offering fewer discounted rooms to online travel sites such as Expedia, Orbitz and Priceline.

A recent USA Today Travel blog item cites the specifics in data from Rubicon, an industry hotel tracker. Its year-over-year comparisons found that the sites got 9.1% of their inventory from chains like Marriott, Holiday Inn and Sheraton in the January through March 2011 time frame.

That’s down 1% from a year ago, and down a whopping 14% from 2009 figures. Bottom line: Hotels are seeing enough increase in their business that they don’t have to discount as much as they did in the past.

So how can your company protect its workforce travel budget?

Check in with the CheckINN Card from CheckINN Direct and enjoy 20-40% discounts off lowest published rates at more than 10,000 hotels nationwide.

It’s an easy way to improve your bottom line, with the added advantages of:

• Viewing an online hotel directory with photos and virtual tours.

• Searching for CheckINN Direct hotels via your iPhone, Android or Blackberry mobile phone.

• Tracking all your lodging stays and hotel spend with your online account.

• 24/7/365 Traveler Support.

sharing the savings is easy!

With last-minute hotel deals on the decline, your

business associates also can save 20-40% savings

off hotel’s Lowest Published Rates.

referring associates is easy:

1. Log into your online account at

2. Click on Refer A Friend and enter your
