We wrote about five essential things a travel software needs to have, but is this enough for the upcoming years? Information technology in the tourism industry is rapidly changing. Nowadays, all travel companies want to be competitive with their business offers and try to differentiate themselves most uniquely.
An excellent way to be competitive is to have the best possible rates on a worldwide range of high-quality transfer services, car rentals, attraction tickets, and excursions. The price of the product offered can be considered as an essential factor of tourists’ choice. A slight price variation may enormously influence tourists choosing a travel company because of the high elasticity of demand in the tourism sector.
When having travel software, this is possible through XML integration with different hotel systems (3rd party suppliers). Combining other sources into a unique travel experience is the guarantee of your service.
