RWA Internet Booking Engines In Over 500 Travel Agency Web Sites In Germany

RWA’s scheduled flights and car rental Internet Booking Engines (IBEs) are being used in over 500 travel agency web sites in Germany. The booking engines, developed for the German Tour Operator Frosch Touristik (FTI), provide comprehensive booking capabilities and have been recognised by German Travel Agencies as providing easy to use, quick access to availability and prices prior to booking.

In addition, each booking engine is:

• Highly tailorable
• Fully re-brandable to support ‘white labelling’
• Multi-currency
• Multi-language

This means that individual travel agencies are able to quickly and easily incorporate the booking engines into their web site and have ‘their own’ version of the booking engine containing:

• Their own or their agency chain’s branding – colour schemes, logos etc.
• Their own agency details e.g. address and contact information

The booking engines also feature a comprehensive web-based management facility that allows:

• FTI to manage the roll-out of the booking engines to hundreds of travel agencies
• Each travel agency to easily manage and maintain their own branding and agency information

The scheduled flights booking engine supports both published and negotiated fares, round trips, one ways, open and double open jaw trips, display of aircraft and ticket on departure information and a variety of payment options. The car rental booking engine supports display of availibility and rates across multiple car rental companies and car types in a single query, and FT’s negotiated rental rates.

Examples of agencies using the booking engines (click on “Linienflüge” or “Mietwagen”) include:

• The Flugbörse agencies (http://www.flugboerse.de) – e.g. see http://www.flugboerse.de/berlin-spandau/

• The FTI-Ferienwelt agencies (http://www.fti-ferienwelt.de) – e.g. see http://www.fti-ferienwelt.de/koblenz/

• The Megatours agencies (http://www.megatours.tv) – e.g. see http://www.megatours.tv/home.shtml?ID=1127&www.megatours.tv/frankfurtoder

• The FTI-Ferienprofi agencies (http://www.fti-ferienprofi.de) – e.g see http://www.fti-ferienprofi.de/buchungszentrale/

Mark Bradbury, Director of RWA commented,”We are delighted with the success of our booking engines in Germany. The large number of agencies that have chosen to use them in what is a highly competitive market indicates how well these engines meet the online booking needs of both travel agencies and their customers.”
