“The Bonotel team is looking forward to meeting face-to-face with suppliers and customers to continue to enhance partnerships and hotel distribution strategies,” explains Hoang Nguyen, Bonotel’s CIO. “Additionally, Bonotel is excited to share its new technology platform and connectivity capabilities and how these new features will add more diverse travel products for customers.”

Bonotel Exclusive Travel is a 2022 U.S. Travel’s Chairman’s Circle Honoree, a program that applauds a selection of international companies for their outstanding efforts to bring the world to America. Hoang Nguyen (CIO) and Elliot Calloway (Sr. Director of Contracting & Brand Partnerships) will be accepting the award on behalf of Bonotel.

“Bonotel has invested in a major technology upgrade over the past year to bring more capabilities, value, and travel products to our existing and new customers,” adds Nguyen. “We are excited to grow our business partnerships exponentially as we recover from the worst of the pandemic events.”
