Going back to the hotel and reservation business / website, I found a great model website that gave me a good idea on what to do if ever I pursue that path. It’s hotel reservations dot com. It has easy to use calculators for the on the go traveler, you could book a flight, make hotel reservations, and ask for car rental in one click. What makes it a good website is that it answers all the needs and probable questions of its clients.
The hotel and travel industry being a multi million industry is probably one of the most profitable business whether online or of line. Imagine this, what if a travel agency or a part-time travel agent uses the site, he could get big hotel discounts right off the site and could sell it to his clients without any sweat, he could simply go on the site and use it as sales tool to sell travel, and reservation. It also has a toll free number on it so if he has some questions about a certain package he could get professional help right from the site.
Now what if a regular customer or traveler uses the site, he / she would definitely get a lot more discounts because there will be no middle man. It would be cool if I had my own hotel reservation site because I would have all the income to myself whether or not the sale comes directly from the customer.
