​

How is availability display sorted?

​

Hotels that participate in the Preferred Placement program rotate amongst their peers every 60 seconds above non-preferred placement hotels on any applicable search criteria.

​

Your hotel will display at the top of the search results based on the city name, airport code, or reference point and other search criteria input by travel agents. (i.e. chain code, distance, IBM rates access code).

​

With Preferred Placement, will my hotel always appear on the display?

​

Travelport qualifies properties based on the travel agents’ search criteria, whether it is a preferred placement participant or not. It will then display preferred placement participants at or near the top of the search results whilst the non-preferred placement hotels that meet the search results display at the bottom.

​

How will my hotel be billed?

 

Hotels will be billed by Millennium Hotels & Resorts UK central head office. Please contact your local head office representative to discuss further.

​

Where and when can I get my Preferred Placement ROI reports?
