US: Casto Travel and Urbandoor have announced a partnership to bring the Urbandoor serviced apartment booking platform to Casto’s business travel clients.
Casto Travel’s CEO Marc Casto said: “Alternative lodging is in high demand, with travellers often making their own choices outside the managed travel program. Urbandoor is the first true technology-based serviced apartment platform focused solely on business travel and relocation. Casto Travel’s partnership with Urbandoor means we can better support business and relocation travellers.”
Casto Travel will use Urbandoor to offer serviced apartments to its clients around the world. Urbandoor’s booking platform offers global access to serviced apartment providers in more than 500 markets. Urbandoor says it delivers 100 per cent duty of care compliance along with its unique digital experience for the traveller that removes the anxieties with accommodations outside of hotels.
Urbandoor‘s CEO and co-founder Erik Eccles said: “The serviced apartment supply chain is burdensome and costly. Urbandoor’s technology cuts through the noise, reducing cost and improving traveller choice and experience. We are excited to team up with a tech-forward, customer-driven travel management company like Casto Travel to deliver extended stay lodging options to their clients.”</p
