InterContinental Hotels Group has unveiled a new program designed with small- and medium-sized enterprises in mind.
IHG Business Edge streamlines negotiation processes, rewards loyalty and consolidates data, bookings and content into an accessible customer portal, IHG says.
Development on the program took one year. In that time, input from 2,100 global small- and medium-sized enterprise customers was collected. The program had a pilot period with 300 companies from 17 countries. Before the official launch, more than 1,500 companies signed up to take part in the program.
To join the program, companies must have fewer than 250 employees, earn less than $50 million in revenue and spend at least $5,000 with IHG annually. Once a company is a member, the company’s travel manager can look at travel data including hotel spend, room nights and the average daily rate over the previous 12 months.
Travel managers for qualifying organizations can sign up at this link.

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.

Nov 20, 2024A Fusion of History and Modernity Makes Bangkok a Perfect Meeting Spot
In this city of contrasts, glass skyscrapers stand behind century- old temples. Street food vendors sling steaming noodles along roadways while tucked-away restaurants serve multicourse, Michelin-level cuisine. Roadways jam with cars as jewel-toned tuk tuks whizz through the gridlock. Long considered a tourist mecca, Bangkok also makes for a dynamic, budding location for corporate travelers.

Nov 19, 2024Explore the Beguiling Towns of Sicily’s Val di Noto
Best known to tourists for the boisterous chaos of Palermo, the views of Mount Etna from idyllic Taormina, and for that capricious volcano itself, Sicily has far more to draw travelers. In Sicily’s southeast corner, one region encapsulates the Sicilian spirit that has seen it through conquest and natural disasters, a region less well-known to tourists but one of the island’s most beautiful and fascinating.
