How to Get Quick Responses from Hotels for Event RFPs

Coordinating group travel can often feel like a never-ending loop of emails and information exchanges. Sending out Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to hotels, waiting for responses, and then comparing various offers is time-consuming and inefficient.

Thankfully, the old model of group travel planning is not the only way to find the best accommodations for your clients.
