Benefits to Hotels

Rates distribution in the travel industry can be overwhelming and frustrating!

Xcursia is a new software system that seamlessly and in real time connects tour operators to accommodation providers in an easy to use interface.  No software or expensive hardware is required.  Xcursia lives in the internet cloud where it is always available, secure and fast.

The current situation = inefficient

* The manual distribution of rates to tour operators is a time consuming and inefficient process

* There is no way to monitor who has seen what

* Manual contracting is time consuming and leaves a paper trail of contracts which no one ever looks at

* Tour Operators are drowning in emails resulting in your hard work being deleted or simply not looked at

* Tour Operators are using preferred properties which make it difficult for new or smaller properties to break into the market

* While rates are being recaptured into systems it leaves huge room for error and misinterpretation of rates

* No way to track success of specials

The solution - XCURSIA

An online rates distribution platform between accommodation providers and tour operators allowing instant rates distribution.

  • Rates are always current and correct
  • Paperless contracting
  • Cloud based platform – all data backed up at all times and the hotel is in control of his rates
  • User friendly system

Measureable benefits

  • What you will spend on XCURSIA you will save directly on the cost of print cartridges – no more printing of contracts = cost saving
  • The time you would have spent emailing rates can now be more beneficially used building relationships with clients = more effective sales team = increase in business
  • Far more valuable use of time means less sales/ admin staff required= reduction in costs
  • Increased visibility to all tour operators = measurable increase in business
  • Access to tour operators who previously did not know you existed= increase market share
  • You could not possibly have accessed all the tour operators with a sales team that you will access through XCURSIA – increase in business while you sleep.
  • No more having to honour rates which were quoted incorrectly = no more loss in profits due to errors or misinterpretation of rates
  • Ability to change rates more easily = increased market flexibility
  • Monitor quote conversion rate allowing you to instantly question why quotes are not being converted. This could be rate driven, through lack of training, because a competitor has put out an excellent special = this allows you to be proactive in the market place
