Airbnb for Work Partners with Gant Travel Management

As more and more companies choose Airbnb for business travel, we know how important it is to continue partnering with industry leaders to offer travelers and travel managers new ways to travel for work without sacrificing the comforts of home.

Starting today, companies working with Gant Travel Management will begin seeing Airbnb as an accommodation option in the SAP Concur Travel online booking tool. Gant Travel Management — which provides their customers with unique and technology-driven solutions for business travel arrangements and corporate travel management — is the first travel management company in the SAP Concur ecosystem to work directly with Airbnb for Work to surface Airbnb listings to their customers.

Adding Airbnb to our SAP Concur content and pulling directly into our comprehensive itineraries, has placed Gant on the leading edge of traveler functionality. We know travelers want that “neighborhood experience,” even when they travel for work, so offering it to our clients just made sense.
