If you are a hotel or associated business, the chances are you have some method in place to give your bookings an online element - whether you also advertise through a third party, use an online enquiry form or even provide a telephone number via your website. Many of Ezone hospitality and tourism related clients have taken this one step further and integrated an online booking engine into their website.
The booking engine is maintained by a third party provider but being integrated into the website itself gives users the freedom to book a room or package at any point whilst travelling through your site. The 2008 ONS Internet Access Survey showed that those who purchased online did so to book travel/accommodation or holidays - the highest ranked reason for online purchasing!
WMS sites can integrate with any booking engine required with no restrictions. Book now links or forms can be added to any or all of the pages in your site and, dependant upon the booking engine used, it may be possible to give the site editor control over the details.
Please feel free to visit our Client Examples section to see how some our current client have chosen to style their booking engines into their website. Please contact the Ezone team for more information on your particular requirements.
Feel free to visit Hyatt Regency Birmingham and Dream House Apartments to see how the technology and third party services can be adapted and customised to meet the needs of your website.
