Travel agents applaud new calendar for viewing charter air availability
MILWAUKEE, WI - March 1, 2005 - Trisept Solutions, the company that created and powers VAX VacationAccess®, just launched a new, timesaving feature to help travel professionals efficiently search for charter vacation options for clients.
The Charter Destination Search tool allows agents to easily view a vacation vendor's charter availability and see live inventory for all of a vendor's charter destinations. The charter search results are presented in a calendar format, making it easy to see charter patterns and vacation availability at a glance.
Three VAX VacationAccess vacation vendors have already implemented the Charter Destination Search tool including Funjet Vacations, TransGlobal Vacations and Vacations by Adventure Tours.
Trisept Solutions developed the new functionality with help and input from a focus group of travel professionals who have a history of booking a high volume of charter vacations. The agents' valuable feedback was incorporated into the tool, resulting in an easy-to-use tool that is superior to similar applications in the industry today.
"This is the tool travel professionals have been waiting for," said Sharon Kumbier, director of marketing for Carlson Wagonlit Travel in Waukesha, WI. "This enhancement will make VAX VacationAccess the number one online booking tool used in our agency locations. The calendar search tool will allow agents to offer every possible available option at the best available prices."
Jennifer Gruber, an agent for Minneapolis-based Hobbit Travel demo'ed the new tool with fellow agents said, "This is great and just in time for spring break bookings. We can pull up the calendar and go click, clack, click and easily make the booking. I love this!"
The new Charter Destination Search tool was designed to save agents time and extra steps when planning their client's charter vacation getaway. Agents can use the tool to offer customers more choices for destinations, travel dates and vacation length. Additional benefits for travel agents for using the Charter Destination Search include the ability to:
- View all of a vendor's charter destinations simultaneously
- Easily identify patterns and live availability with the easy-to-use calendar format
- Access charter availability from the calendar with one click
- Easily select alternate origins and departure months
- Use the search tool to better customize a charter vacation to meet your customers' needs
- Easily find alternate destinations and dates, and up-sell length of stay
VAX VacationAccess has evolved into the industry's premier travel agent portal, complete with the most powerful booking engine available, hundreds of timesaving reservation management tools and now exceptional sales, marketing and educational features.
