Engine, the modern travel platform revolutionising business trip booking and management, has announced a series of powerful new features aimed at helping hotels fill vacancies and increase visibility among business travellers. These updates are part of Engine’s Partner Hub, a comprehensive solution designed to drive bookings and loyalty within the highly competitive business travel market.
The Partner Hub connects hotels directly with more than 900,000 business travellers using Engine, providing advanced analytics and tools for optimising performance. Among the newly launched features are:
Deals: A tool for launching targeted last-minute discount offers to attract business travellers and maximise occupancy.
Property Spotlight: A bidding feature that enables hotels to secure premium placement in search results, driving visibility and traffic, especially during occupancy dips.
2X Rewards: An incentive program offering double Engine Rewards to encourage travellers to choose a preferred property over competitors.
Group RFP Management Tools: A dashboard tailored for hotel chains and property management groups (PMGs) to streamline group booking proposals, enhance organisation, and improve win rates for group business.
Florent Silve, EVP of Supply and Strategy at Engine, emphasised the platform’s role in simplifying operations and driving consistent bookings: “We understand that attracting business travellers can be challenging for hotels. Partner Hub is built to be a strategic ally, providing analytics, insights, and tools that empower hotels to thrive in the small business travel market-a largely untapped segment. Our latest features are designed to help hotels optimise midweek bookings, enhance guest experiences, and increase their appeal to business travellers.”
Boosting Conversions and Performance
The features are already showing measurable results. Hotels offering same-day cancellation policies have seen a 68% increase in click-to-book conversion rates, while those leveraging premium placement in Engine’s search results experience 24% more bookings compared to lower-ranked properties.
Partner Hub users now have access to tailored solutions for midweek travel, a period when vacancies are typically highest. With tools like targeted offers and advanced placement opportunities, Engine enables hotels to tap into a highly motivated audience of small business travellers.
Hotels interested in enhancing their performance and capturing this demand can access the Partner Hub through Engine’s platform. By combining data-driven insights with practical tools, Engine continues to transform the landscape of business travel management.
