Booking engines have been around for over a decade, and of course you can always just put Hotelscombined, Expedia or booking.com engine on your site and be done with it.

Alternatively, you could get one from your GDS, or broker providers like Cartrawler who can provide you with a convenient booking engine to integrate on your site – free and easy.

When selecting which booking engine (or travel technology) to select for your business, one should ask himself if it actually resolves any of the problems your travel operation can be facing:

1. Branding – how do your agents and costumers perceive you?

2. Process automation – how much manual work is done daily?

3. Exposure – what are your financial risks and how do you diminish them?

3. Data aggregation, mapping and standardization – showing 10 times same product just leads to confusion

4. Ability to provide best rates from various sources – by knowing price differences, know how to markup dynamically

5. Ability to track performance within the organization and from external sources – how well your employees perform? How much your agents book with you?

6. Distribution – what do you sell, to whom and on which terms. Do your distribution capabilities go beyond the obvious?

7. Reconciliation – are you loosing money in the buying and selling processes, how do you handle currency conversion, VAT exempts?

8. Competitiveness – what is your unique proposition that diversifies you from the competition? If you’re just repeating what others are doing, how can you be better than rest? How do you expect to prosper a year from now?

Application of travel technology in your organization goes well beyond just showing something under your “hotels”, “cars” or “flights” tabs. Commercially driven travel technology is all about maximizing your profits and enhancing your distribution, no matter which solutions you are currently using or consider deploying.

In designing our system, we not only considered the points above but also devised an implementation process that easily overcomes most of the organizational-change difficulties that come with adopting new technologies. In addition, new players who are looking for a way to penetrate the lucrative travel industry in a professional manner – are supported by a full set of tools to set up a new operation from scratch.

And no wonder, with tens of thousands of industry professionals in attendance, this is the place to be in early November, and a terrific opportunity for us to meet with clients, partners, and friends.

We work in a virtual environment. Our clients are scattered in over 25 countries across the globe, making it virtually impossible to meet with everyone in person. And while there is no real need to meet in person, nothing beats the opportunity to shake one’s hands, and discuss exciting ideas, cooperation initiatives, and plans for the future in a relaxed yet professional atmosphere, and WTM is a great opportunity to do just that!

In addition, WTM is a great educational experience, with numerous seminars, workshops, Keynote speakers – geared towards sharing latest trends and industry news with fellow travel professionals!

Finally, WTM is a multicultural event, with country representatives showcasing the best of their traditions in the most colorful, and vivid way!

We will be in London for the entire week around WTM Nov 5th to Nov 9th, and will be glad to see you at the show or outside of it.
