Corporate Social Responsibility (or CSR) is playing an increasingly important role in procurement as responsible business travel becomes a central element of company strategy, covering duty of care, traveller health, safety & security and the environment.

Hotelworld can help you to ensure that your organisation’s Accommodation, meeting & event procurement policies are responsible and sustainable by giving you access to industry best practice, helping you to select greener hotels and venues, and by tracking the effect on your company’s overall emissions.

The primary objective is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by finding travel alternatives (such as videoconferencing), supporting hotels and venues who are adopting eco-friendly policies (such as a linen re-use service) or reducing emissions by investing in projects that replace the CO2 generated by its journeys, using third party carbon offset specialists.

Hotelworldplus provides Corporate Accommodation services, Online Hotel and Travel booking services, meetings and event management, cheap hotel deals and reservations in the UK and Worldwide.

Hotelworld’s roots date back to 1967 when, as Concordia, the company serviced the accommodation needs of inbound tourists and individual travellers through airline booking systems and retail desks at railway stations and airports. Concordia pioneered the technology revolution of the early 80’s, developing new reservations systems and, from 1986 providing automation for Thomas Cook Travel Management's corporate hotel reservations service. In 1992 Concordia became Hotel & Travel Reservations (HTRL) and adopted the Thomas Cook brand as the first UK member of Thomas Cook’s worldwide network. This move helped HTRL to become the UK's leading provider of late availability accommodation at guesthouses
