Mach Associates have introduced the latest Version 6 of the Travco XML link

We are one of the first - after British Airways - to upgrade our link from our MARS tour operator reservations system to the new Travco 'Health Assured' connection. This gives Tour Operators the vital knowledge that all Health and Safety inspections have been carried out on every property they sell via Travco. The new link fully supports UNICODE for the following Languages, English, Chinese Mandarin, French, German, Spanish and Russian. Commercial aspects are not forgotten, CMS features ensure that content descriptions can be simply incorporated in the tour operators website so there are no rekeying issues and the quality of presentation is second to non. Special Offers like 2 for 1 and day of arrival discounts are also shown.

I see from 'Travolution' today that the issue about online booking failure rates is back on the agenda!

In a blatant plug of our MARS reservations system!! Our users have far less of a problem in this regard because the WEBOOKIT feature we offer provides a flexible approach to booking construction, i.e. one that can be instantly amended if a block to bookings being completed is found.

Mach Associates have released a link to Holidayautos for our MARS Tour Management software. Our customers can now make call centre and website car hire bookings for their clients as part of their packages. The new link is designed for tour operators but can be used by almost all types of travel organisor, such as on line travel Agents. Like all our supplier links the holidayautos connection gives MARS users the ability to include the component as a seperate price item or as part of a package price. So it is useful for standard and dynamic packages. Holidayautos offer exceptionally competitive vehicle rates worldwide! The link is already in use by www.skiweekends.com
