Hotel and Vendor Bookings for Tour Operators

Rooms, vehicles, guides and activities are requested against the tour file and tracked until a reply comes. Operations can see which night is still open.

What a booking request records

Each request is raised from a line of the day plan, so the night and the place are already known.

What was asked for

The property or supplier, the dates, the number and type of rooms or seats, the meal plan and anything the guest asked to be arranged.

Who asked and when

The staff member who sent the request and the day it went. Operations can tell at a glance how long a reply has been pending.

The reply

Confirmed, waitlisted, refused or part confirmed, with the hotel’s reference number and the mail or message saved against it.

Release and payment date

The date by which rooms must be held or let go, and the advance the property wants. Both are read from the vendor record.

The pending board

Operations work from a list of unconfirmed nights across every live tour. A departure three weeks away with two nights open is easy to spot. Reminders go out from the same screen. A refusal sends staff to the alternative property noted on the day line, and the request is raised again without the details being typed afresh.

Changes before departure

Guests drop out, a date shifts, a room pattern changes. The booking is amended and the earlier version stays underneath, so the office can show the property what was agreed first. Amendments made after the release date are flagged, because a charge may follow.

What this module does not do

  • It does not connect to hotel or airline systems. Nothing is booked automatically.
  • It does not pay the advance. Payment is recorded in the payables module.
  • It does not choose a property for you when the first choice refuses.
  • Who may amend a confirmed booking is set by the rule you give us.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can rooms be blocked for a departure before guests book?

Yes. A block is raised for the date with its release period, and bookings are allotted against it as names come in.

Does the hotel see this system?

No. Requests go out as mail or a message in your own format, and the reply is entered by your staff.

What happens if a confirmation never arrives?

The night stays on the pending board with the days counted, and operations keep chasing it until the reply is recorded.

Can part of a request be confirmed?

Yes. Three rooms out of five can be marked confirmed, and the balance stays open against the same night.
