Accorhotels and LinkedIn Create New Business Check Feature

World-leading travel and lifestyle group, AccorHotels has joined forces with the world’s largest professional network on the Internet, LinkedIn, to enrich its mobile app with a new business check service for business travellers to stay connected with other professionals.

All AccorHotels guests can use this new feature, Business Check powered by LinkedIn, which allows travellers to identify people in their professional network who are based in the city they are in, and suggests relevant profiles to connect with, enabling professionals to stay connected on the move.

With Business Check powered by LinkedIn, now available on the AccorHotels app, mobile and tablet users with bookings in an AccorHotels establishment can connect to their LinkedIn account and share their next business trip destination with their network in one click; and find out which of their LinkedIn contacts reside in the city they are staying in again, and contact them directly using either a personal email or Inmail; and develop their network through the new feature’s suggested list of relevant profiles residing in their travel destination.

“There are over 26 million business travellers on LinkedIn and by partnering with one of the world’s leading travel groups, these professionals can now be even more informed, connected and productive while on the go. We all like to get the most out of our business trips abroad and this new feature will make it even easier to connect with clients, prospects, suppliers and colleagues old and new,” says Joshua Graff, VP marketing solutions EMEA at LinkedIn.

Business Check powered by LinkedIn is available in 18 languages, including English, French, Chinese, and Russian. http://www.accorhotels.com/
