.@HRSUK opened new offices in Amsterdam + Paris in January, supporting clients across Benelux and France. HRS has 35+ offices worldwide, helping companies optimise their hotel programs and ensure #businesstravellers shop and book the right hotel rates. https://t.co/sRmsoWg9v3

[Michael Brophy @BrophNotes]

As Jan ends, corporations should audit the hotel rates their travelers shop for 2019. @GlobalBTA found that one-in-six loaded rates are wrong; @HRS_NAM audits often show as many as 25% incorrect. See link below for research + info on HRS' Rate Protector. https://t.co/APyFNA6Scj

[Michael Brophy @BrophNotes]

Travel+meetings leaders should stay engaged w/ stakeholders in their companies, especially as Brexit unfolds. Corporates at Thursday’s GBTM/ITM Meetings Mgmt event in London (https://t.co/y2AubNWq6g) can learn best practices from @HRSUK's @CarolePoillerat at 11:30. #biztravel
