Hilton has announced the debut of Hilton for Business, a new, digital-forward travel program that empowers professionals running small- and medium-sized businesses to simplify travel management while enhancing rewards and discounts for their loyalty. The global program offers a set of tools to enhance the business travel booking and management experience and provides Hilton Honors benefits to business customers and their employees.
Hilton for Business answers a growing need: Data found that 75 percent of small- and medium-sized business customers book their own business trips and manage their own travel in-house, without outsourcing. Hilton’s “2024 Trends Report” also spotlighted that 80 percent of global travelers agree that it’s important to be able to book their entire trip online.
Small- and medium-sized businesses can now discover a more seamless and value-driven business travel experience by engaging with Hilton for Business:
- Portfolio-wide discounts – Small- and medium-sized businesses that join Hilton for Business gain access to discounted rates across Hilton’s global portfolio of nearly 7,400 properties both on the website and on the Hilton Honors app.
- Travel rewards for small businesses and their employees – Through this program, companies will earn milestone bonuses through the loyalty program, Hilton Honors
- Companies that enroll in Hilton for Business will receive 7,500 Hilton Honors Bonus Points after any program member completes their first hotel stay.
- After every 10 nights stayed by a program member, the company receives 5,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points. Those Bonus Points are housed within the business’ company account and can be used to distribute to themselves and/or any member of their Hilton for Business program.
- Individual travelers, including both owners and employees, will continue to earn their personal Hilton Honors Points and benefits with each stay.
When visiting Hilton.com/HiltonforBusiness, small- and medium-sized business owners or travel administrators can register themselves and their companies, through their own Hilton Honors account, to gain access to the self-service travel booking and management system. Once registered, the customer and their employees gain access to the booking website and other benefits. At that stage, individual travelers will also be able to create separate personal and business travel profiles within their own Hilton Honors account, enabling differentiation and management between the two profiles.
In addition to enabling any traveler at a company to easily book discounted rates, business owners have full control and can delegate program management to any number of administrators. The more employees included in the program, the more benefits the company earns. Businesses can track their upcoming spend, review historical spend and understand the benefits accumulating as they travel.
