Online Booking Tools
Almost all bookings now occur through one of three channels, Direct-to-Hotel, Online Travel Agents, and Traditional Travel Agents. To succeed today, hotels must be able to capture bookings in each of these areas. Here's how OpenBook can get you plugged into the right channels in the right ways:
Direct-to-hotel travelers use Google and other search engines to find and book their hotel. In fact more than 70% of travelers now begin their search online. With our OpenBook Direct service, we'll put an Online Booking Tool on your website, and our web marketing team will get your hotel on the top of search engines so travelers will find you easily.
Online and Traditional Travel Agents gather up travelers and connect them to rooms. They make up a shrinking, but vital channel for last-minute, business, and luxury travelers. Our OpenBook Channel services plug your rooms right into their networks through a turn-key system we've built specifically for ease of use.
