ABC•CCRA Premier Hotel Program℠ Achieves a Record 56,500 Hotels in 2024 – Its Largest Portfolio Ever
BOCA RATON, Fla. (April 3, 2024) —The ABC•CCRA Premier Hotel Program has grown to include a record 56,500 hotels around the world, making it the largest travel agency consortium hotel program.
With its continued growth, the ABC•CCRA offering is unmatched in global coverage, connecting travel professionals to properties in more than 11,600 cities across 190 countries. More than a third of those properties are located outside of the United States and Canada.
The 2024 ABC•CCRA program covers the complete spectrum of hotel needs — ranging from economy and limited-service accommodations to full-service and luxury hotels as well as extended-stay hotels, resorts, and apartments. More than 725 hotel brands and chains along with a broad collection of independent properties are represented. One-of-a-kind stay options are also available and include professionally managed private residences and villas in addition to the 56,500 hotels.
“Participation in the ABC•CCRA Premier Hotel Program is broader than ever, and that is a testament to the enormous value our program provides our hotel and agency partners alike,” said Dee Runyan, president of ABC Global Services. “Through the deep relationships we have cultivated, including hotels that are exclusive to our program or those that work with only a small set of distribution partners, we are able to ensure agencies can meet the needs of their full client base.”
Taking advantage of savings and exclusive deals are some of the primary benefits of utilizing the ABC•CCRA program. More than 31,800 hotels in the program—well over half of the total portfolio—offer standard discounts as high as 25 percent off best-available-rate pricing, with some offering even higher periodic discounts. More than 90 percent of hotels in the program offer rate-inclusive Wi-Fi, and nearly half include breakfast. All rates under the program are commissionable and eligible for guest loyalty points.
ABC•CCRA’s lodging offerings also includes its Premier Privileges VIP program, a collection of high-end properties that provide a variety of special amenities, such as complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, food and beverage credit, early check-in, late check-out, same-day cancellation, and a welcome amenity.
Extended offerings include the ABC•CCRA Air Program which boasts over 70 international carriers providing discounts and commissions up to 20%, and a Ground Transportation Partner Program with benefits that include discounted corporate rates and bonus commissions on car rental and chauffeured services.
There is no cost to join any of the programs. Agencies interested in additional information should contact ABC’s Agency Solutions team at agency_solutions@abcglobalservices.com or call 1-561-300-6645 ext. 3.
