Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT), one of the largest travel firms globally, has opened a new booking site in Nordic countries for meeting packages and meeting rooms using Finnish MeetingPackage.com platform.

The Finnish company launched its booking site – similar to booking.com for hotel rooms – last month and offers already more than 200,000 meeting rooms around the world.

“Cooperation with CWT is part of our vision. We want to offer companies a global platform, where customers can search, book and manage meetings without using time-consuming RFPs,” Joonas Ahola, CEO of MeetingPackage.com said in a statement. CWT is the market leader in business travel and meeting and event arrangements. It operates in more than 150 countries.

“Now, prices are transparent and the option to compare different meeting packages and rooms saves both time and money for companies,” Ahola said.
