HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts has announced two new agency partnerships in the UK, aimed at increasing its hotel members' share of MICE business. Calder World of Travel and Venue Options will now begin to place MICE enquiries directly into the HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts collection of more than 600 independent hotels.

Calder World of Travel, are recognized as one of the UK's leading agencies and offer a full range of travel services to government businesses and other corporate clients, including booking conference and event venues.

Venue Options, another industry leader, specialises in providing outsourced management solutions for the procurement of corporate hotel bookings, accommodation solutions, meetings and event requirements.

Both agencies will start using the HotelREZ's dedicated MICE desk, which places meeting and events enquiries into the independent hotels the company represents, both in the UK and abroad. HotelREZ offers a wide range of MICE venues with distinct accommodation options; from sleek boutique 5* city gems, to country-house retreats full of charm and history.

Emma Stevenson, Director of MICE Sales for HotelREZ, explains:

“HotelREZ continually strives to grow its hotel members' revenues across the different channels and markets, and the MICE market has always been at the core of our proposal. We're very confident these new agency partnerships will help us to do just that.”
