Kind Regards,

In this newsletter we welcome a range of new BookIt members (full list below). We would like to welcome on board the many operators who are joining us for the launch of Christchurch Airport's new integrated travel site. We look forward to working with you all!

Also this month we have added integration for both Siteminder and STAAH users, allowing these operators to reduce administration time updating their rates and inventory.

BookIt is committed to working with key channel managers to ensure we are all working smarter and not harder! If you use either of these channel management systems and would like to get connected, write to support@bookit.co.nz.

Hermitage Hotel are now using BookIt to take online bookings of their iconic Mt Cook property. The system has had an immediate and significant impact on the Hotel's online booking and occupancy rates. The BookIt system also allows the Hermitage to cross-sell other related and complementary products such as the Glacier Explorers and Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre, all in one easy process for their customers to book online with real-time confirmation.    

"If you're considering BookIt as your booking engine - a word of warning, expect immediate results! We underestimated the power of this system and were slightly unprepared for the massive volume of bookings which occurred as a result. I'm highly impressed by their level of customisation, professionalism and eagerness to learn more and continue to develop their software. I predict an exciting future for Bookit customers as they continue to grow and build even more innovative capabilities. I especially want to thank Andrew and the rest of the BookIt team for helping us establish effective sales channels for all our products easily and minus the stress!".

It's hard to believe, but the winter season will be finishing soon and the focus of online shoppers will be moving towards summer travel; accommodation, activities etc.

We would encourage all operators to log in to BookIt (or their channel management system) and make sure your rates and product information is all up to date.
