PlacesToStay ups trade deal

Hotel Booking FEXCO AllTravel is enhancing its PlacesToStay private rate hotel reservation programme to deliver more value to travel agents, hotel suppliers, airlines, consolidators and technology integrators servicing the travel trade.

Although travel agents have access to all of the same outlets you would use when looking to book travel, they also have access to exclusive pricing and package deals that are most times not available to the public. Your travel agent also has more leverage in helping out in situations such as hotels claiming to be booked, when in fact they may still have rooms available that are on hold for travel agents reservations. So when everyone else is telling you “No” your travel agent can help turn that to a “Yes.”

Travel Agency At the Travel Technology Show 2006, FEXCO AllTravel announced that it has begun implementing improvements to the PlacesToStay programme, following a 'root and branch' strategic review of the business bought from CNG Travel Group in October.

Travel agents obtain some of their information from the same sources as online booking sites such as Orbitz and Travelocity. They also receive daily emails and faxes with new specials from resorts and hotels that may not be published on the internet. Travel agents can also call a place directly to see if they can work out other kinds of special deals for you, something an online site can’t do.

London Hotel Booking 'More Choice, Value and Service'

Discount Travel Tim Wright, FEXCO AllTravel's head of distribution and business development, said: "PlacesToStay is a powerful, value-adding business generator for traditional agents, online portals, trade consolidators and technology integrators. It's also a truly independent hotel solution that doesn't compete with agents and airlines in the all-important air segment. FEXCO's considerable online resources and expertise will help make PlacesToStay an even more attractive sales tool. Today's competitive marketplace means distributors must make best use of the Internet to give their customers more choice, value and service.

Orlando Hotel "The phased upgrade to PlacesToStay should help agents and other distributors drive more bookings and therefore revenue," he said." We're also introducing variations to our core business model that will make PlacesToStay more appropriate for different types and sizes of agents and distributors. And we'll be meeting the needs of smaller agents with a new web-based version of PlacesToStay which should provide them with good opportunities."
