How fast is the demand of OTA solution is increasing in Asia and Europe? – PROVAB.com

The travel industry has undergone a major makeover with the introduction of the online travel software and the consequent implementation of travel apps. Earlier planning a vacation was thought to be a task that required intense management skills. We have to go to a travel agent for airline booking or rail booking. Making a hotel reservation was again done through a travel agent or was accomplished after reaching the destination. We would have very vague idea about the “must visit places” at the destination, and would have to hire a travel and tour guide for the same. Similarly arranging a car rental at the destination of visit was done by coordinating with the local travel agent or the hotel.

Travel Software Development with Flights, Accommodations, Cars, Packages surging in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Egypt - PROVAB.com

http://www.provab.com - The future of travel portal development could be directly related to the growth of travel industry. In the last decade, the travel industry has witnessed many important changes and implementation of technology to every aspect of tourism has been one big leap, which has benefited the travelers along with the organizations into the business of tourism. The aspect of development can be related to the emergence of travel portals and travel apps.

For B2C Travel Portal Development – Get a Project Quote – http://www.provab.com/get_quote.html

A travel portal is developed with the main aim of providing online booking facilities for the end-users, visiting the website. The most important features included in travel portal are air ticket booking, hotel booking, bus booking, car booking and chartered plane booking. Previously air ticket booking was considered to be the most important element of travel portal development. With the airlines becoming stingier, hotel booking is predicted to be the future of travel portal development.

The aviation industry over the world and specifically in India has been going through a turmoil phase. We often hear stories about the soaring prices of the airline tickets, decline in the demand of air travel, increase losses mounted by the airlines and in certain cases the carrier busting has lead to the decline in the number of air travelers. The current incidents of Malaysian Airlines and Air Asia flights have raised question over the safety of the air passengers. At one point of time air ticket booking was considered to be an eminent part of travel portal development, now it has taken a back seat. Travel portal analysts predict that the future of travel portal development is with hospitality industry.

To stay in competition, low cost carriers are selling their air tickets directly through the airline websites. Selling tickets at a discounted price or lower price has been one of the marketing strategies of the airlines to sustain the competitive market. When such kind of offers is put forward by the airline company, they try to sell maximum number of tickets through their own website, giving a stringent space to the travel agencies or the travel agent. Presently the airlines sell 50% of the tickets through their company’s portal, compared to the earlier percentage of 30%. The message is very clear, the airline companies want to eliminate the online travel agent and cut down on the thin profit margin that they get. Hence the future of travel portal development is not safe with airline booking.

Hotel booking turns out to be a much safer option. With the number of travelers increasing with each passing year and new destinations discovered by the people in the travel business, the demand for accommodation has been rising. The statement holds true specifically for the exotic locations, where even a small company into the hospitality sector want to project its premises and get booking from international travels. Since the margins for the airline reservation are under pressure, the business model of the travel portal development is moving towards hotel reservation and holiday packages which projects a better prospect of growth and revenue generation.

As per Deep Kalra, the founder and CEO of makemytrip.com, the travel portal use to get 90% of its business from air travel, which has now dipped to 70% and is further predicted to go down to 50%. As per the recent data, priceline.com regarded to be the most valuable travel agency, generates 97% of its total revenue from selling hotel room. The case is same for expedia.com, where the 73% of the total revenue generated on a yearly basis comes from hotel booking. Selling hotel booking through the travel portal is an attractive offer as hotels share 10% - 15% of the profit with the travel agents, making it a profitable deal. Selling rooms for fragmented landscape comes with a better profit margin. This comes as a good deal for small hotels which cannot afford to spend money on advertisement for hotel room booking.

With the travelers getting accustomed to booking hotel rooms online, travel portals are gaining good amount of profit from hotel booking. The travel portal can tie up with numerous numbers of hotels across the globe and process hotel room booking for them. As per the data, earlier only 30% of the bookings were done online and the rest were done through phone. The present scenario is different, where 70% of the booking for the hotel rooms is done online and 30%over the phone.

Even the hospitality industry is making things better for the guests with the touch of technology. Owing to the rise in the number of travelers willing to be a part of the wonderful journey of technological hospitality, the future of Travel portal development is safe with hotel booking.

Travel Agencies in Middle East and Europe target higher growth with top travel software, booking systems - PROVAB.com

http://www.provab.com - 2015 is expected to be great year for OTA – Online Travel Agencies. OTA stands for online travel agency. A travel agency, which operates and provide the services online. OTA covers a range of different types of services which it provides to global clients including flight reservation, hotel reservation, car reservation, holiday packages and other travel related services. There has been a massive growth in online travel business and that’s why most travel companies have adopted the OTA business model and going for travel portal development for their companies. Travel agencies are contracting travel technology companies to build and set a robust OTA platform.

Out of all the travel related services, hotel reservation creates a key component in terms of volume and thus hotel reservation system has become the most important aspect of OTA. It is absolutely convenient due to its 24-hour availability, global reach, great room inventories and pricing associated with it. End users can search hotels for any city worldwide, find out availability and pricing. They can also view the hotel images, videos and 3D maps to reach there. After selecting the hotels, users can make the payment through credit card and get the instant confirmation in terms of vouchers. Thanks to the rise of travel technologies, mobile apps and global reach of internet.

The rise of online hotel reservation systems, is not a threat to traditional travel business, but an important opportunity to be taken advantage of. Travel agencies can target more customers round o clock and provide term better services with any human interface. This also creates a better customer experience and thus more business for OTAs.

For most OTAs, the best choice for making a hotel reservation system is with several hotel APIs / hotel XML to gain the best possible inventory and better pricing. An integrated and fully functional hotel reservation system reduces the additional cost support team and gives following sustainable advantages.

• 24×7 availability, increased sales and better client satisfaction.
• Hotel reservation system manages from displaying hotels to voucher generation online and thus saves a lot of efforts.
• Hotel reservation system manages the complete user data on the backend with all the booking records, markup and statements.
• Separate markup can be managed on B2C and B2B, both the modules.
• Marketing tools such as email newsletters and promotional discounts help in building bigger client base.
