TravelBrands Makes It Simple
While planning and booking group travel can be considered difficult, a new process from TravelBrands is making it a lot easier.
As of now, agents can block air seats through TravelBrands’ Access platform as opposed to via email and phone.
Frank DeMarinis, president & CEO, TravelBrands, explained that: “This year, we are looking at all the ways we can simplify processes and allow agents to work more efficiently. This means agents will no longer need to email the names and payment details back and forth or over the phone.”
DeMarinis continued: “Whether clients are travelling in groups for weddings, family reunions, bachelorettes or more, this new program can ease the booking process and manage files.”
The program on Access allows travel agents to access all the information in one place. Any block space agents have booked will be displayed. Agents can also view details of the group booking including passenger names, titles and more in an easy-to-read format.
If a travel agent chooses to book an air group with TravelBrands’ groups department, the travel agent will also be appointed a coordinator to book the group space online for them.
