What changed
Navan and Hilton announced plans to create a direct hotel–Travel Management Company (TMC) connection for corporate hotel travel. Navan says it will be the first TMC to integrate directly with Hilton’s Central Reservation System and content services, with the planned connection designed to support real-time shopping and booking and access to Hilton hotel content. The companies say their plans include jointly enabling more consistent virtual payment acceptance across Hilton’s global portfolio.
