Kintetsu International Express (KIE), a TMC, announced the launch of a new online booking tool, Kintetsu Hotel Planner, designed to give the general public online access to hotel reservations in the US and all over the world, including KIE’s deeply discounted preferred hotel rates. KIE, said the announcement, is the only travel management company to make its special hotel rates accessible to the general public.

William Sarcona, director of KIE’s preferred hotel program, said that one of the company’s marquee products is the hotel program. He said KIE partners with major hotel brands and individual properties to offer discounts and amenities not easily available to other TMC’s or OTA’s.

“This new platform,” said Sarcona, “gives KIE the opportunity to offer our special Kintetsu hotel rates, not just internally to our corporate clients, but now to all consumers and the general public.”

Designed for ease of use, according to the announcement, the tool’s intuitive interface “makes it effortless for users to navigate and find exactly what they are looking for.” In addition, said the announcement, the secure payment system ensures that users can book with confidence.
