New Perspective in Managing Reservation from Travel Agents and Corporate Clients
Dubai, UAE (April 29, 2012)
Planet Group, one of the leading travel management companies in the UAE, will introduce its upgraded B2B online reservation system for independent travellers and will showcase its main features to leading trade professionals and visitors in this year's Arabian Travel Market (ATM), from 30th April to 3rd May.
The main objective for 2012 is the Promotion of the upgraded B2B Online Reservation System for FIT. Planet Travels & Tours will offer from end of May 2012 XML Connectivity for key customers. Before the bookings for 2012/13 start pouring in, Planet will offer as well a secure payment gateway for credit card payments which will allow agents to book online with an instant booking confirmation as per the shown availability by paying directly with their credit card. This new customer type, the "credit card customer" will allow Planet to cater to new source markets in CIS, GCC, Iran and India.
Georges M. Moussa, Chairman, Planet Group, said: "We are pleased to launch our improved B2B online reservation system that will give individuals and companies' convenient and immediate access to the latest rate and availability with login and password access. Since all rates and availability can be viewed at any time, anywhere, by a travel agent or corporate clients, they can make bookings on real time basis with instant email confirmation. The system is time and cost efficient!"
Moussa added that Planet Group introduced the upgraded system to bring more commercial exposure to the market. "By means of this user-friendly reservations system it is easier to complete online booking allowing small companies to benefit from it. We are breaking the exclusivity through the latest technology. By enhancing the system we are creating new business opportunities by targeting new markets such as Iran, India and the GCC."
Aside from the B2B online reservation system, Planet will also showcase its full range of services for FIT, leisure groups, MICE, cruise ships and VIP individuals. On the other hand, the Leisure Department will promote its sightseeing tours and 4 x 4 Mountain and Desert Safaris, with special promotion and "combo" packages for the coming summer season.
Participating in ATM for the 16th time, Planet Group will be located at the Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (DTCM) pavilion, Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) pavilion and Ministry of Tourism Lebanon pavilion. The Planet Group team will be present to give a live presentation of the B2B Online Reservation System and will answer any questions about the program.
