The Apartment Service has created waves at the Business Travel Show

The Apartment Service has had a very successful participation at the Business Travel Show (BTS) which was held in Earls Court in London last week. Our stand has attracted a lot of attention from a large number of business buyers. Especially of interest was the new technology on show on our website, namely our property management system and online booking facility. Our ability to continue to innovate our services, coupled with our 28 year experience and the leading role we play in the industry have given us the thumbs up from the visitors to our stand.

Business travel is also being hit by the credit crunch and a poll amongst 170 travel buyers at the BTS, commissioned by the show’s organisers, concludes that many companies are looking to save money on their travel arrangements. This is why serviced apartments are really the flavour of the moment for corporate buyers and TMC´s, presented with decreasing travel budgets.

This is backed up by one of the key findings in the first Global Serviced Apartment Industry Report, published in September last year by The Apartment Service. “The serviced apartment sector is well placed to withstand the global economic slow down” and “half of British companies are turning to serviced apartments for their short term accommodation requirements of more than a week”

Extracts of the report can be read online at www.apartmentservice.com/GSAIR08. A hard copy can be ordered here as well.

The Apartment Service continues to be at the forefront of the sector to book fully furnished and serviced corporate accommodation with all the modern conveniences at an unbeatable price for our clients. And our new technology will make this even easier for our often time pressed corporate clients.

THE APARTMENT SERVICE EXHIBITS AT BUSINESS TRAVEL SHOW IN LONDON

THE APARTMENT SERVICE

EXHIBITING AT THE BUSINESS TRAVEL SHOW (10-12 FEBRUARY 2009)

AT

EARLS COURT EXHIBITION CENTRE LONDON

 

The Apartment Service (TAS), the largest European booking agent for serviced apartments worldwide for stays from one night, is once again exhibiting, on stand number 233, at the Business Travel Show, the most important show in the business travel calendar in the UK. As long established professionals in this sector, TAS is keen to engage with the corporate buyer in looking at the role serviced apartments may play in their accommodation programmes and to discuss the exciting new developments happening in the sector and within the company. TAS is also keen to interact with the Travel Management Companies (TMC) as to where serviced apartments may provide a new opportunity for client cost savings and how they can integrate with TMC systems and processes, most specifically the online opportunities TAS´s new web services will shortly offer.

 

TAS will be showcasing some of the exciting new functionality already on their website (www.apartmentservice.com ), which has been completely redesigned, to reflect the changing way business is being conducted and to be prepared for the future of serviced apartment accommodation bookings.

 

Most specifically, TAS will be discussing the live availability search and booking services currently undergoing final testing and to be launched shortly, which is a key feature long demanded by the TMC world. TAS will also demonstrate their new property management system, which will allow property vendors worldwide to manage their rates, information and online availability at the click of a button. This will also include Google Geo codes, for precise apartment locations anywhere in the world, using only simple data entry.

 

Also of major interest is The TAS affiliate program, which allows other websites and portals to offer our full global inventory of serviced apartments as a one-stop-shop integrated into their current systems.

 

TAS is proud to be at the show and keen to network with key industry professionals at what is a challenging and exciting time for the travel industry, but particularly in the serviced apartment sector.
