Airbnb said on July 12 that it’s partnering with three travel management companies—American Express Global Business Travel, BCD Travel, and Carlson Wagonlit Travel—to give their clients a chance to book on Airbnb.
The partnerships will funnel customers to Airbnb for Business, the corporate-focused platform that Airbnb has been slowly building. AmEx GBT, whose clients include IBM, McKinsey, and Microsoft, reported $30 billion in 2015 sales. It is adding Airbnb as a “preferred supplier,” meaning that Airbnb will be able to offer negotiated rates and business expenditure tracking. Carlson Wagonlit Travel handled $24.2 billion in sales in 2015, with 92% coming from corporate bookings. BCD did $23.8 billion.
