Expedia Corporate Travel announced that WestCoast and Red Lion Hotels has joined the growing ranks of its Expedia Corporate Rate hotels program.

Expedia Corporate Travel, a full-service travel management company operated by Expedia, Inc., today announced that WestCoast and Red Lion Hotels has joined the growing ranks of its Expedia Corporate Rate hotels program. Expedia Corporate Travel customers can now find corporate- friendly booking rates with customized additional features at a variety of WestCoast and Red Lion properties.

“Working with the Expedia Corporate Rate program allows each of our hotels to tap into the growing market of online corporate travelers at both small and large companies, who can now easily find, view and book our rooms that they might not have found before,” said Barry Hughes, vice president of distribution and marketing services at WestCoast Hospitality. “We are excited to begin providing Expedia Corporate Travel’s customers with better hotel inventory and features that make the business trip more pleasurable, while driving recognition for our brands among Expedia Corporate Travel’s rapidly growing client base.”

Expedia Corporate Rates are established at a level that matches the hotel’s most corporate-friendly rate, and contain provisions for flexible room cancellations, free amenities and other business-centric features. Expedia Corporate Travel customers can take advantage of these specially negotiated rates, which can be viewed with their company’s own negotiated rates, a variety of Expedia Special Rates offerings and other publicly available rates.

“WestCoast and Red Lion are well-known for their dedication to improving the customer experience and value of their hotels, which makes them a perfect addition within the Expedia Corporate Rate program by providing our customers with access to great deals at their properties,” said Richard Markus, general manager of supplier relations for Expedia Corporate Travel. “We look forward to building on this momentum by expanding the number of Expedia Corporate Rate hotels and benefits of the program.”
