Saint Lucia enhances booking engine

The Saint Lucia Tourist Board (SLTB) and the Saint Lucia Hotel & Tourism Association (SLHTA) will jointly launch a “new and improved booking engine”on their respective web sites http://www.saintlucianow.com and http://www.bookstlucianow.com . Designed to bolster the island’s tourism industry and enhance the travel agent and consumer booking experience, the new system is provided by Regatta Travel Solutions. According to officials, the new booking engine will enrich the consumer’s experience of planning a trip to Saint Lucia and will allow agents to book specials, provide their IATA number and information and earn commission. “In the coming weeks, further enhancements to the engine will allow agents to be able to register and login to access special offers tailored to travel agents, track bookings and commissions, and much more,”says Louis Lewis, director of tourism for the Saint Lucia Tourist Board.
