[Travel-Link] WSCA Lodging Update

[HAY Tim * SSD SPO]

Hello State of Oregon travel arrangers.

 

The WSCA Lodging Database has been modified.  The estimated rate now
displays at the top of the search page for the city searched.  There is
no longer an estimated rate next to each hotel.    This change was made
to avoid the confusion of hotels offer rates lower than per-diem.   If a
hotel offers a lower rate, it will be highlighted with a green dollar
sign.  

 

WSCA Lodging is also adding independent properties to the program.
This will be completed by mid-June.  We are also hoping to add another
7000 Wyndham properties at the same time also, bringing the total number
of properties participating in WSCA Lodging to over 13,000 that offer at
or below per-diem rates to state and other public employees.  

 

Please direct your travelers to use WSCA Lodging first when searching
for hotel rooms in the United States.  WSCA Lodging Properties are also
available through Azumano's online booking tool ResX and can be booked
in conjunction when booking airfare.        

 

WSCA Lodging is located at www.wscalodging.org  or
