Worldspan, announced the launch of Worldspan Interactive Maps(SM) for Hotels, e-commerce sites and corporations to search and book North American and European hotels. Users can view hotel locations on an easy-to-read map and access seamlessly integrated property information in a fully interactive, visual environment that saves them time and money while increasing productivity and improving customer- shopping enjoyment.
Interactive Maps for Hotels presents hotel locations plotted on a geographic map with mouse-over technology that displays vital information about each property, enabling effortless comparison-shopping among multiple hotels and instant-booking capabilities. By mousing-over each hotel, a pop-up box appears displaying photos, property details, real-time rates and availability, property classifications, as well as links to broader property descriptions and expanded rooms/rates. The product eliminates time-intensive research to find properties based on location and the need to use multiple tools to access complete hotel information and booking functionality.
Worldspan Interactive Maps for Hotels is one of the most advanced and best resources for booking hotels, and we are extremely pleased with the solution, said Katie Mancl, director of Marathon Travel and Cruise Shops, an agency headquartered in Central Wisconsin that provides corporate and leisure travel services. The detailed map allows us to easily access hotels based on location, a common request, and to quickly provide important shopping information with just the touch of a mouse. Interactive Maps for Hotels is exactly the caliber of technology innovation we expect from Worldspan. It will help us reduce costs and increase revenues, while providing better service to our customers.
Interactive Maps for Hotels is another example of how Worldspan is putting leading-edge technology to work for our supplier, agency and corporate customers, said Ninan Chacko, senior vice president – e-Commerce and Product Planning for Worldspan. We are focused on creating technology that provides demonstrated results and value through increased productivity and enhanced customer service. Interactive Maps delivers these benefits, equipping our customers with yet another advanced solution for retaining and growing their businesses.
