Booking Engine: (http://www.reservetravel.com/v6?)The client wants to do as little work as possible, so they use *our* skinnable, brandable booking engine and let us do all the work. They select the skin, or create their own, or has us upload their header, footer and margins to look like their website and just link off to it. Users can also use a brand that we offer, reservetravel.com. No programmer required, simple fast, and the easiest for us.

Trip Authority - Content, Rates and availability - Business 2 consumer – merchant services

Trip Authority: (xml) The client wants to do their own search and show rates and link off to *our* booking engine once a rate is found. TripAuthority serves this need. The client uses TripAuthority for Availability calls and links back to us for the booking. This requires a programmer, a database, and some XML services.

Trip Authority I: (xml) The client wants to build their own front end website without having to host a local database and local content but still have us do customer support and credit cards. The new TripAuthority content services allow this by providing access to the same search and hotel information web services that our booking engine uses. Our booking engine uses these services and

then uses TripAuthority for handling Availability, Rate Details, Booking, and Cancel using the hotel id's returned from the search. This requires programmer, a database, and some XML services and some serious programming.

TripAuthority II: (xml) The client wants to build his own front end website but have us handle all the back end, merchant account, customer support, etc. This is what TripAuthority is designed for. It supports the same basic 4 operations as ABBIE (Availability, Rate Details, Booking, and Cancel) by hotel id only, but with the addition of adding booking fees, sending emails to the guest, and charging the credit card when necessary. The client is still responsible for doing searching locally and hosting content (hotel info, amenity and room info, etc) themselves in their own database. This requires a programmer, a database, and some XML services and some serious programming.

All transactions are supported with and outstanding customer service team, equipped with a state of the art system - Group Services, a seamless solicitation, contracting and processing service developed by Alliance is also offered every client - The in-house Reservations Service, is a pay per use service, optional to the client.
