Hilton boosts agent facilities

Hotel Booking Hilton Hotels will offer travel agency commission processing and an online resource for agencies and hotels to track their incoming and outgoing commissions and process future meeting planner commissions, at www.tacsnet.com.

While there are some below par travel agents out there, sources such as Tripology are great outlets to go to find reliable specialized travel agents that will match your needs. 10. Travel Agents Can Only Book My Flight and Hotel Travel agents can arrange car service, personalized tours and activities, in addition to all the basic travel services they provide. They are also excellent sources of information concerning good restaurants, good sites to see, and tips on what to pack.

Travel Agency Initially, all hotels in the United States and Canada will be part of these new services. Hilton also is exploring ways to implement these new services to its hotels located outside of North America.

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.”

Cheap Hotel "We feel confident that these enhancements will engender loyalty and preference for the Hilton Family of Hotels among agents, and deliver cost-saving benefits to our hotels. These enhancements are possible due to the Hilton proprietary OnQ Property Management System and a new centralized distribution services technology platform utilized by over 2,400 Hilton hotels," said Mark Shindala, senior director distribution services for the Hilton Family of Hotels.

Except for telephone bookings made through one of our authorised Travel Agents, we will endeavor to send this to you within 7 days of receiving your booking. For telephone bookings made through Travel Agents, your booking is confirmed when we verbally confirm your holiday to your travel agent. A contract between us comes into existence when we despatch our confirmation invoice to you or, for telephone bookings made through a Travel Agent, when we verbally confirm you booking to your Travel Agent.

Travel Agent -- Online, real-time commission tracking and payment processing

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.
