New net hotel rate program said to be a first
Fare Buzz launched a new, web-based hotel booking engine – which it says is an industry first – that allows travel professionals to book hotels at net rates in over 100,000 hotel and resort properties.
“This innovative program offers quality-inspected properties in more than 200 countries, worldwide, with hotels ranging from budget to luxury accommodations. The savings are substantial, 30-40 percent off retail prices,†says the site.
The new hotel program provides travel professionals with access to pre-negotiated wholesale rates, as well as the best available rates, categorized as “Super Nets†and “Super Savers.â€
Agents can now add their mark-up at the time of booking and receive their commissions within a week of booking.
“Travel agents are tired of waiting for their commissions and want their money fast,†said Arnold Walter, President and CEO of Fare Buzz.
The new hotel program is based on a technology which gives search results in seconds and instant booking confirmation. Reservations can be made on the web site 24/7 or by telephone seven days a week.
Established in 1994, Fare Buzz is a New York-based travel supplier that has grown to become one of the largest travel suppliers in the country.
