Most hotels love a slice of the MICE action and many rely on it as a main source of income. If this is the case then they should be aware of Active Network’s Starcite ‘Meeting Locator’, a strategic meetings management technology.
It helps meeting planners and travel managers make informed decisions when choosing destinations for any business event. Meeting Locator quickly delivers advice based on global data from the industry’s leading travel and meeting spend platforms.

It is integrated within the StarCite Spend Management software and employs information from CWT’s vast travel database to find cost-effective and environmentally friendly destinations, along with their associated costs.
Active Network partnered with business travel management leader Carson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) to create the tool, which enables meeting planners to enter the dates of their meeting and the attendees’ departure cities into the Meeting Locator tool.

“With increasing scrutiny on spend management and compliance with travel policy requirements; it’s paramount that corporate meeting planners have the best technology at their fingertips.”
