Advanced Search Filters for Precise, Rapid Booking
One of the key updates is the addition of sophisticated search filters. Travel distributors are now able to run searches pre-filtered by additional parameters:
- Board types.
- Category.
- Luxury Collection portfolio.
- Free cancellation charges.
This functionality allows you to quickly narrow down property choices, saving valuable time and enabling tailored offerings that align with your clients’ preferences and budgets.
Enhanced User Interface for Optimised Usability
The Booking Engine’s visual interface has been upgraded to offer a cleaner, more intuitive experience. Product boxes – including hotels, transfers, activities, and mobility options –are now centrally located on the display.
This layout enhancement not only improves visual appeal but also creates a swifter search and booking experience. A more user-friendly interface translates to faster transaction times and increased operational efficiency.
Streamlined Access to Hotel Catalogues
The hotel catalogue link is now directly within the booking calendar view.
This strategic placement simplifies the browsing process, enabling a quicker view of hotels for the selected destination without the need for specified travel dates. Easily browse hotel options without toggling between multiple link locations, saving time and enhancing the overall booking experience.
'Top Hotels’ Are Now ‘Most Popular’
The ‘Top Hotels' category has been repositioned as ‘Most Popular’ to better reflect properties in high demand.
- Most Popular hotels are based on sales production, meaning they represent our Top Sellers.
- Previously, ‘Top hotels’ combined top sellers + SPA hotels. Now, our SPA hotels are listed under ‘Preferred’, while top producers appear under ‘Most Popular’.
These top-performing hotels are ranked based on sales production, providing you with data-driven insights into which properties are experiencing the highest demand and which offer valuable booking opportunities for you as travel distributors.
As part of this update, our Strategic Partner Agreement (SPA) hotels are now categorised as ‘Preferred’ in the list view. You can also find these hotels using the ‘Preferred’ filter on the side menu to find hotels that offer guaranteed rates, as part of specially negotiated contracts from these hotel partners. Explore and book these hotels for a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Furthermore, data expansion is currently in progress for these ‘Most Popular’ hotels to allow broader coverage and ensure you meet the evolving needs of your clients while staying competitive.
Why These Updates Are Beneficial for Travel Distributors
These platform enhancements are designed to facilitate faster, more flexible, and more insightful booking processes.
Leveraging advanced filtering options and an improved user experience allows a quicker but more personalised booking process – creating memorable travel experiences for your clients from the start, to foster loyalty.
Streamlined access to our top-producing hotels via the ‘Most Popular’ filter enables more market-relevant recommendations, increasing conversion rates and client satisfaction.
