Why 30,000 Hotels Are Joining the Platform Changing Group Travel

Why 30,000 Hotels Are Joining the Platform Changing Group Travel

Apr 18, 2025 by Fernanda Mendoza
It’s not every day that 30,000+ hotels decide to shake up how they do business. But that’s exactly what’s happening on Crewfare Launchpad. From boutique properties to global chains, hotel teams are signing up, logging in, and sourcing smarter—because the way group travel works is changing. Fast.  

So, what’s the big deal?

Let’s be real: the old way of doing hotel RFPs?
It’s clunky, time-consuming, and easy to mess up.

Hotels are tired of chasing leads through email threads.
Planners are tired of sending RFPs into the void.

Launchpad fixes both sides of the equation—streamlining everything from proposal to contract, all in one place.

Real Hotels. Real Results.

We’re not talking hype—we’re talking results.

“Overall production at our hotels is up 1,078% Q1 2025 vs Q1 2024.”
That’s not a typo. That’s what happens when you respond faster and close smarter.

Here’s what hotels are saying:

  • Lisa Preston (Wyndham): “I’m particularly excited about the RFP search bar and have been using it the last few days! I was so relieved to see that!”
  • Daniel Robbins (Sonesta): “The search bar is already so helpful!”
  • Alexander Torre (W Fort Lauderdale): “Thank you so much for your help and getting us on the platform so quickly!”
  • Michelle Timilty (Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter): “That is exactly what I needed. Submitting our bid now.”

Michelle Gordon (Residence Inn Norwalk): “Amazing, thank you so much!! That was easy.”

And for event organizers?

You get real hotel responses—fast. You can actually compare your bids instead of chasing them down. And you don’t need to pay a fortune to use outdated software built for something else.

The takeaway?
