Booking Engine Facts:
(Applies to All Booking
Engines)
Our booking engine like all others, including Travelocity,
Expedia, Orbitz, and Priceline has substantial limitations.
You may not get the best price because booking engines cannot
confirm wait lists.
Most of the larger nationally recognized travel companies
have specific featured properties. Featured properties
pay more to the have their resort listed as featured.
We do not use this common practice. We accept
no advertising or payola to feature a resort.
Booking Engines can not do a price match for the lowest price.
Specials are often not matched to resorts or properly combined
with other specials within booking engines.
Booking Engines will not search out the price point problem
and find an alternative solution.
So why even have a booking engine - as we do.
1) We think there are times they work very well and can compliment
working with an agent. This would be late at night or anytime
you need a simple estimate what a vacation might cost.
2) It is a way to Hold space while an agent
checks to see if this is the best choice.
