Holiday Extras aims to boost agents’ web use
Holiday Extras is seeking to encourage agents to use its website as an online tool for selling holiday add-ons.
The company has released a 2006-07 agent guide including 11 new hotels and 22 more car parks at 27 UK airports.
The programme features more than 120 airport hotels, 60 on and off airport car parks, 24 UK airport lounges, airport chauffeur drive, airport car hire, car parking at two UK ports, foreign exchange, travel insurance, London short breaks, London attractions and theatre and theme Park breaks.
New web codes are listed within the pages of the guide to directly link agents to Holiday Extras’ products. Product information grids from www.holidayextras.co.uk are now featured in the guide to show how to use the site within a few easy steps. Once online, agents can use the website to increase their product knowledge as well as making bookings, amendments and cancellations.
In addition to a ‘best price guarantee’ on agent bookings, the company has added an auto-email facility where the agent receives standard commission on emails sent by Holiday Extras to consumers.
Head of marketing and web content delivery Chris Gale said: “This year’s guide has differed greatly from previous years. We are now really striving towards agents using www.holidayextras.co.uk not only as a booking facility but a resource tool as well. By using the website, agents will strengthen customer relations by saving consumers time and money during the booking process.”
