TORONTO — The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND) has introduced a state-of-the-art all-inclusive booking engine, developed entirely in-house using advanced Softvoyage technology.
Tailored specifically for Canadian travel agents and their clients, this innovative B2B2C platform is poised to set a new industry standard for booking sun destination vacations.
Built from the ground up by TTAND’s dedicated IT team, the new booking engine enhances the entire customer journey while streamlining the reservation process.
“Our travel agents are the foundation of our success,” said Jeff Element, COO of The Travel Agent Next Door. “With this new booking engine, we’re providing them with the best tool available to deliver richer, more personalized travel experiences. By integrating a robust internal portal and offering detailed property content, we’ve ensured that both agents and their clients enjoy a seamless journey from inquiry to booking.”
Element emphasized the platform’s cutting-edge capabilities: “Every feature, from dynamic pricing and advanced sorting to comprehensive pricing breakdowns, has been designed to exceed industry standards. The excitement among our agents confirms that this tool will redefine the booking experience for all-inclusive sun destinations.”
TTAND agent Lorie Nearing of Memory Bank Travel has already seen the benefits firsthand.
“I was thrilled to have the new booking engine running on my website. Shortly after posting about it on social media, I received a notification of a new booking,” she said. “My clients appreciate this easy and convenient way to book online, while knowing they’ll still receive personalized service from our agency. We aim to provide the best possible booking experience, even for those who book online.”
