- A travel agency
- An Internet intersell agency
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. A travel agency

Explanation

A travel agency typically books rooms for corporate groups. They specialize in organizing travel arrangements and accommodations for individuals or groups, including corporate clients. They have established relationships with hotels and can negotiate rates and secure reservations on behalf of their clients. The hotel's sales manager may handle individual bookings or group bookings, but for corporate groups, it is more common for a travel agency to handle the arrangements. An internet intersell agency is not a typical entity involved in booking rooms for corporate groups.
