UK: Serviced apartment agency SITU has launched SITU Live: Global Network, which allows serviced accommodation operators worldwide to connect their inventory, availability and pricing to SITU.
SITU says the move means travel buyers will have the option to “instantly make a booking online and circumnavigate the traditional ‘on-request’ process which is typical within the sector”.
Managing director Phil Stapleton said: “We are delighted to launch the SITU Live: Global Network in answer to what has been a long-held point of contention for the business traveller and business travel buyer – that serviced apartments are harder to book than hotels. This tool allows our team to work with our clients and build bespoke accommodation programs that blend online and offline bookable inventory globally which can be connected to third party booking tools or accessed via SITU’s customer portal.”
“We will continue to be known for the high-touch, responsive and professional support delivered via our operations teams, but now with yet another way to access serviced accommodation inventory which is tailored to our clients’ needs,” he added.
The SITU Live: Global Network launches with a coverage of more than 40 locations across the UK, with the aim of expanding this to more than 200 worldwide by December 2020. SITU says this will make it “the largest network of instantly bookable, professionally operated and vetted to the highest quality standard, serviced apartments in the marketplace”.</p
