�The meetings market is a dynamic and fast growing segment for Bass Hotels & Resorts,� said Ravi Saligram, chief marketing officer and managing director of global strategy for Bass Hotels & Resorts.  �For this reason, we want to build on our relationship with all meeting planners, which includes developing this new site to simplify the meeting planning process.  This new business - to - business e-commerce initiative is yet another step by Bass Hotels & Resorts to aggressively build on its leadership position in digital channels.�

Saligram added that the new site offers more hotel information than any other site and that planners are sure to benefit from Bass Hotels & Resorts� diverse portfolio whose brands include Inter-Continental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn.

As well, the new, easy-to-navigate site provides meeting planners with extensive content, such as photographs, virtual tours, descriptions of each property�s hotel features, conference and meeting facilities, including room dimensions, capacity information, floorplans, and much more.  In addition, the site features Destination Guides showcasing weather information, currency exchanges, local time, a host of travel tips, and area attractions.  Planners also will benefit from the site�s Quick Hotel Search application which will allow them to search for the property best suited for their hotel brand, location and event needs.  RFPs can be submitted electronically with a guaranteed response within 24 hours.
