One of the many benefits Trip Professionals will provide upon your enrollment is our state-of-the-art technology package. We believe that our technology is second to none and will provide you additional tools to allow you to be successful in your new travel business. Our technology package includes the following:

Booking Engine – We are currently working with Revelex who have provided us with the booking engine. This booking technology is currently being used by some of the largest travel providers in the country and gives our members and their clients the ability to book air, hotel, and car reservation.

Through a very user-friendly interface you and your customers can get real time access to cruise cabin inventory straight from the reservation systems of the top cruise lines and because of Trip Professionals’ relationship with the cruise lines you will be sure to get competitive pricing and benefits. Through step-by-step screens you can complete an entire cruise booking in a matter of minutes. When the process is complete you will get an immediate confirmation directly from the cruise line.

Dedicated Website & Hosting – As part of our program, Trip Professionals will provide you with your own dedicated website. This site will immediately place your travel agency on the World Wide Web were you can attract customers from all over the world. Your website can be customized with the look and feel that is individual to your agency and you can control much of the content that is created. If you want to specialize in Exotic travel, your website will reflect that. If you want to feature groups and affinity cruises, your site can reflect that. We will teach you how to design your site so that it embodies your individual goals. We can also teach you how to replicate your site for cross-marketing opportunities with banks, associations, retail stores, golf clubs, credit unions, health clubs, tanning salons, etc. at a nominal cost per site. In addition to setting up your site, we will also host your site on our secure servers. Our hosting service guarantees 24/7 reliability on a completely scalable Windows-based platform. We maintain the networks and insure that customers will have access to your site on a continual basis.

Cruise Line and Port Guide Content – While we want you to be able to personalize your site so that it reflects your agency, we also want to provide you with the content that will allow you to successfully market vacation product. As part of the Trip Professionals technology package we will provide you with up-to-date graphics, images, and content on all of the cruise lines and the major ports that they service. Having this information as part of your site will allow customers to use you as a research tool as well as a sales tool. We have found that the longer customers remain in your site the more likely they will be to make a booking either electronically or through your reservation department.

E-Mail Marketing Tools – Another feature of the Trip Professionals technology package is our marketing tools. Working with Passport Online, we have developed a comprehensive program that will allow you to easily market cruise and vacation products directly to your customer database. With a couple of mouse clicks our system can produce a customized e-mail message on a specific product or special. This e-mail message will include all content and links and will certainly make your agency stand out from your competitors. In addition, our technology has a very powerful tracking system that can let you know which e-mails are opened and what links where accessed so that you can follow-up in a timely and professional manner in order to try and close the sale.

The Trip Professionals Technology Package offers a number of features and benefits that are all working together to provide you with a comprehensive Internet solution. If you went out and purchased all of the component items individually you could be spending upwards of twenty thousand dollars. With Trip Professionals you get all of these features for only $49 per month and we do all of the maintenance, updates, and management of the system. Based on our research we believe that Trip Professionals is offering the most comprehensive technology package at the most competitive price.
