FRANKFURT, Germany - September 2nd, 2009 - Star Alliance, the way the Earth connects, has today launched a global product for the meetings market: Meetings Plus. Companies, meeting planners and incentive agencies needing to organise gatherings with participants from different countries, now have access to the entire Star Alliance network, by contracting their travel needs through just one Star Alliance member airline.
“With Meetings Plus we are offering an alliance product to a new market segment. We are certain that our Meetings Plus customers will value the experience and expertise which we can provide, largely based on knowledge gained by having offered an alliance conventions product for more than eight years”, said Christopher Korenke, Vice President Commercial, Star Alliance.
Meetings Plus can be used for most meetings of 50 people or more, with attendees originating in at least three different countries. Interested meeting organisers send an online request for proposal (RFP) via www.staralliance.com/meetingsplus. The organiser will then be contacted by the Star Alliance member carrier designated to handle the travel requirements for the requested event. Bookings will be made through the organisers appointed travel agency. The Star Alliance member carriers are offering fare discounts ranging between 10 and 20 per cent off the published fare in either Business or Economy Class.
