Online corporate travel procurement solutions provider GetThere announced a new agreement with Worktopia Inc., an online search and booking provider of meeting space in hotels, conference centers, business centers and airport lounges. The agreement allows GetThere users to tap into Worktopia's online booking capabilities from their home page.

Through Worktopia, GetThere users can booking meeting space, audio visual equipment and catering for groups of up to 100 participants. GetThere said more than 3,000 companies worldwide used its services in 2007 to cumulatively book more than $9 billion in travel. GetThere also continues to offer planners the ability to source group room-nights through its partnership with HelmsBriscoe.

Worktopia says booking directly through its tool, which covers more than 150 U.S. cities, takes as little as three minutes.

"As meeting spend draws more attention in corporate boardrooms, companies that have already successfully deployed GetThere for travel are seeking complementary tools to manage simple meetings," said Worktopia CEO John Arenas. "Groups with fewer than 50 participants comprise more than 60 percent of corporate meetings. The GetThere-Worktopia offering delivers better visibility and savings throughout the simple meeting procurement process."
