Travel Solutions Launches University-Focused Hotel Booking Directories Across the U.S.
Travel Solutions, a Dallas-based travel tech firm, has introduced a portfolio of specialized hotel booking directories for major U.S. universities. These new platforms simplify campus travel planning for students, families, and academic visitors by offering curated lodging options near university grounds. United States, April 14, 2025 -- Travel Solutions, a travel technology company headquartered in Dallas, has announced the official launch of a nationwide network of university-specific hotel booking directories. These platforms are designed to streamline the travel experience for students, parents, faculty, and visitors attending university events, tours, graduations, or academic conferences. Focused on proximity, convenience, and quality, the directories offer a curated selection of accommodations located within walking distance or a short commute to leading U.S. university campuses. By addressing a consistent travel challenge—finding reliable lodging near college grounds—Travel Solutions aims to become a trusted resource for educational travel. 'This is about solving a real problem that families and students face multiple times during their academic journey,' said Nick Morgan, Head of Strategy at Travel Solutions. 'Whether it's the first college tour or a graduation weekend, travelers need hotel options they can count on, close to campus.' Tailored Directories for Major U.S. Universities The newly launched directories provide focused booking experiences not typically available on mainstream hotel platforms. Each site features: · Real-time pricing and availability · Verified guest reviews and high-resolution property images · Map-based listings showing distance from campus · Filter options for price, amenities, and walkability · Mobile-first design for quick and secure booking Among the first platforms launched are: · – Lodging options in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, ideal for those looking for hotels near New York University. · – Hotels close to UT Austin, serving families and Longhorn event attendees. · – Listings for hotels near the University of Washington in Seattle, perfect for prospective students and academic visitors. · – Curated options for travelers seeking hotels near the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. · – A centralized resource for visitors to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Each platform is designed to remove the guesswork often involved in finding campus-adjacent accommodations—especially for out-of-state and international guests. 'You can see the university, see the hotel, check the reviews, and book with confidence,' Nick added. 'That's the simplicity we set out to deliver.' Meeting the Needs of a Growing Travel Niche Travel Solutions' move comes amid a significant rebound in campus-based travel post-pandemic. College towns across the U.S. are experiencing renewed visitor volume as families, faculty, and professionals return for academic engagements. The demand for accessible, nearby lodging is surging. The company's university directories align with a broader shift in use-case-driven travel tools, emphasizing functionality and relevance over generalized listings. By targeting a niche yet high-volume sector—academic travel—Travel Solutions aims to lead a growing category of specialized travel platforms. Roadmap for Expansion Looking ahead, Travel Solutions plans to scale the model across more than 100 universities, including Stanford University, the University of Chicago, UCLA, Boston University, and others. Each platform will deliver a hyper-localized booking experience, optimized for travelers who prioritize proximity to campus. 'Visiting a university is a milestone moment in many people's lives,' said Nick. 'We want to ensure that moment is supported with seamless travel planning—starting with where they stay.'

Check presentation: Fundraiser for Arkansas Children's exceeds goal
SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — After a full month of generosity and giving, Jersey Mike's cut a $156,000 check to its cause of choice. Jersey Mike's dubbed March its 'Month of Giving' with March 26 being a 'Day of Giving.' On that day, the company donates 100% of sales to Arkansas Children's statewide. Funds from the month-long campaign will benefit Arkansas Children's historic expansion project, providing expanded care in Northwest Arkansas. This comes amid the hospital's extensive process of adding new programs along with building and modernizing facilities at Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) in Little Rock and Arkansas Children's Northwest (ACNW) in Springdale. 'Thirteen stores across the state supported Arkansas Children's. We broke our record from last year, which I believe was $143,000. It's so awesome to see a $13,000 increase, and when we do it again, we will beat this record,' Nick Morgan, Jersey Mike's co-owner, said. 'We didn't do it. The community did it. They came out. They showed out.' His business partner Zac Morgan said the entire month of March is very rewarding for them. 'Jersey Mike's motto is 'give to give,' and we push it through our stores, and we push it out through the community as much as possible. And it means the world to us to be able to give back to the children,' Zac Morgan said. The nearly $318 million system-wide expansion is now in year three of an eight-year process between its Little Rock and Springdale campuses. 'This is the most historic expansion project in the history of the organization. So, both Arkansas Children's in Little Rock and Arkansas Children's Northwest here will see the benefits from these funds,' Megan Flores with Arkansas Children's said. 'We're building all different kinds of spaces. Both campuses will have a whole new building structure and expanding patients' rooms, expanding different operating space and hopefully lessening wait times for our patients and their families. And just making an overall better experience.' The plan includes recruiting 150 new providers and more than 500 new team members. The expansion will include 265,000 square feet of new construction and 170,000 square feet of renovated construction, to create more inviting and accessible sites. More specifically, that's a 72-thousand square feet addition to Northwest Arkansas' campus with a large focus on more in-patient beds in an effort to keep children closer to home. It also includes an enhanced surgical space with additional operating rooms. The expansion will double the hospital's hematology and oncology space, creating more specialty clinic space for things like sports medicine. 'We literally could not exist without community support. They are our voice behind the scenes, just lifting us up in the community and letting everyone know all the programs and services we offer,' Flores said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
