OUR ON-LINE BOOKING
ENGINE
The advances in travel
reservations technology have allowed people to not only receive
destination information on-line but to be able to book their reservations
in real time from a
live inventory database. Reservation Services International has implemented
an on-line booking engine that interfaces with both our client's web
site and Reservations Services International's own reservation system.
For resort and
adventure/dive operators their existing web pages will continue to be
hosted
and maintained by their existing web master. The main web site still
is the core for promoting the product. All information about the destination,
resort and operation stays on the main site.
We will only need
your web master to design in one or more places on your web site a button
that links to the booking engine.
A secondary booking
engine web site is designed that outlines the product that you offer
and
the products you want available for on-line booking. Next to each product
we have a book it
now button that "links" to that product in our reservation
system that includes both pricing
and inventory.
Some of the
benefits are:
Customers
can book 24 hours a day/7 days a week allowing you a competitive advantage.
The easy booking process allows for increased sales capabilities
as customers are more
likely to book.
Customers in different time zones can book on-line when
the resort and/or reservations
office is closed.
Our on-line booking engine interfaces directly with our
reservation program.
The booking engine web page link is a seamless connection
from your site providing a simple link to the booking process.
The booking engine is also client branded and "private
labeled" with your company logo.
The inventory calendar shows if the item requested is available.
The customer can save a reservation with or without payment.
The system provides instant confirmation for your customers.
The customer can make deposits or final payments on reservations.
The customer can view their reservations on-line once confirmed.
There is an instant e-mail confirmation back to the customer
once the transaction is complete.
Travel agencies, dive shops and wholesalers can book on-line
as well.
Agencies can view all their reservations and the status
of each.
The system can track and report reservations made via the
web versus those made by
the phone.
