Do you see the difference

Hotel Express International

Hotel Express International is the world’s largest member organization in the field of hotel discounts. If you have not heard about our company before, we hope you will take the time to read the following lines below. Whether you represent a hotel that needs to increase its occupancy, a company that needs to save on travel expenses or simply looking for an interesting and profitable franchise opportunity in your country, Hotel Express caters to each of these needs.

Hotel Express International has been active since its start in the USA in 1987. HEI has worldwide offices in over 60 countries. Our Head Office is located in Norway, Northern Europe.

The Hotel Express International concept is easy to understand. We have agreements with 4,000 hotels, each of which offers our members a 50% discount off their standard rate. In addition, we have an agreement in the USA with 6,000 hotels representing 10 different chains. These hotels offer our members a discount of 10% off the best available web rate. Contrary to all other Internet hotel booking engines, we do not operate with pre-payment, cancellation fees or administration fees. Moreover, our local offices offer a free booking service to their members and work locally with the participating hotels. In this way we manage to create a unique cooperation between the hotels and our members.

Information for potential members.
How can a HEI membership be profitable for your company? How do we manage to obtain such good rates? One of the reasons we can offer these great rates is due to the fact that we take no commission whatsoever from the hotels. Another reason is due to the large number of members we have, your company becomes part of an entity that is entitled to ‘large volume rates.’ These rates are often even better than the rates offered to the world’s largest companies. In addition we have hotels all over the world. One of the secrets to our success is the fact that we have local franchisees in many countries. This provides us with local contacts to negotiate the hotel agreements. It makes a real difference in countries like Tunisia, Sweden, and Spain. We can negotiate in the local language and set up meetings directly with the hotels. In addition to the discount, we pride ourselves on the great personal service we offer our members by taking care of their international bookings at no cost.. Call your local office, speak with a HEI representative and enjoy the convenience of our free booking service. If you wish to cancel your reservation, we can take care of that too, free of charge. You do not pay us for your hotel reservation either. You pay directly to the hotel upon check-out. As a new member, we believe that you will appreciate the level of service just as much as the actual discounts. In addition, we offer you discounts on other travel related services, such as car rentals with National Car rental and many others.
The majority of our members belong to small and medium sized companies, but we also have a number of key accounts with banks, car companies, etc. who purchase the membership for their customers. So, whether you represent a company that needs 1 membership or 80,000 like our biggest client, we can guarantee your full satisfaction with Hotel Express International. Our membership renewal percentage currently lies at an incredible 90%. There are reasons for that!

One of our members wrote:
“Hotel Express is the best investment and the most valuable card every traveler should have in his wallet. Being a journalist requires that decisions are made quickly which does not leave enough time to organize the best accommodation for the best price. From my experience I can simply say how pleasantly surprised I am with the quality and the performance of the HEI personnel. Not only did they send several offers in one day, but also anticipated my needs and preferences - what would be the most suitable accommodation and how would I feel in each hotel. For little money I gained the best deal, both for myself and my wishes and for the company I work for. Hotel Express, I thank you for all the effort, effectiveness, kindness and the ability to read minds and anticipate one's wishes and preferences!!!”

Information for potential member hotels.
Do you wish to find out how thousands of hotels increase their revenue by offering half price rates to Hotel Express members? One of the reasons is that we charge no commission to the hotels and participation is totally free of charge. Another reason is that the hotels give the discount based on their expected availability. If the hotel expects to be fully booked, it has the right to decline the Hotel Express reservation requests. In that way, the hotels have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. Hotel Express functions as the intermediary between the hotels and its members. Our main objective is to ensure that the cooperation is profitable for all parties involved.

You will need some startup capital to secure the exclusive rights, but it will be well worth your investment.

Your exclusive rights enable you to sell Hotel Express memberships as the only one in your country. You will receive the Hotel Express software that manages your bookings, the registration of your members, and more. You will become part of a big family with relatives in over 60 countries, each of them working towards the same goal.

If you take care of your members, you will also reach a high level of annual membership renewals and many referrals producing new members. This is the basis for a great long term business.
It may very well be that the rights for your country have already been sold, but often it is still possible to enter into an agreement as a sub-agent for the existing local distributor, to set up a partnership, and to launch a business idea to the local distributor.
