UH Travel Portal
The UH Travel Portal is a new website with helpful travel
information and discounts for UH faculty, staff, visitors,
students, and alumni. The website is maintained by Campus Travel
Management, which provides this service to several universities
across the US.
The UH Travel Portal includes the following links:
Visiting UH
� Local Hotels, including the UH Hilton Hotel, that offer
discount rates to UH visitors
� Campus Map
� Directions from Airports
� Visitor Parking
� Campus Dining
� UH Visitor�s Page
Faculty and Staff
� UH Travel Policies
� UH Travel Forms
� UH Travel Agent (NTS)
� Outbound Hotels � discounts on hotel chains and hotels where
universities are located that utilize Campus Travel Management
(colleague rates)
� Collegiate Reciprocity � list of universities that utilize
Campus Travel Management. Click on the university to see the
hotels that offer discount rates to colleagues (UH faculty,
staff, students, and alumni).
� State Travel Contracts � airlines, hotels, rental cars
� Contacts for Questions
� UH Travel Page
The UH Travel Portal can be accessed from the
UH
Visitor�s Page or from the
UH
Finance page.
Please note that UH visitors are not required to use the local
hotels on the UH Travel Portal website and UH faculty and staff
are not required to use the hotels offered at a discount in
other cities. However, the local (Houston area) hotels are
preferred, including the UH Hilton of course, and they should be
used for visitors whenever possible to save money. Make sure to
ask for the UH visitor rate, which is on each hotel�s website. A
few of the local hotels on the website also put their brochures
in a special rack inside the UH Welcome Center lobby for guests
to pick up.
In addition, UH faculty, staff, students, and alumni can ask for
the �colleague rate� when staying at hotels outside of Houston
(see Collegiate Reciprocity or Outbound Hotels) whether
traveling for business or pleasure. Departments are encouraged
to use this website as another resource when looking for
affordable hotels in other cities. UH faculty, staff, students,
and alumni do not have to be visiting the associated university
to receive the colleague discount rate. They are eligible for
the discount because they are associated with UH and UH
participates in the Campus Travel Management program.
If you have any questions, please contact Mike Glisson at
